Hello, I’m sorry for the inconvenience you’re experiencing. Currently, Rank Math doesn’t have a built-in feature to delay pinging posts to search engines. However, you can achieve this by using a custom function in your WordPress installation.
You can use the publish_post hook to delay the ping. Below is an example of how you can achieve this:
function delay_ping($post_id) {
$time_delay = 5 * 60; // 5 minutes in seconds
wp_schedule_single_event(time() + $time_delay, 'do_pings');
}
add_action('publish_post', 'delay_ping');
You can add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or use a custom plugin to add this functionality.
If you need further assistance with implementing this, please feel free to reach out to our support team by assigning this ticket to us. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
