errors not retraceable: h1 tags not missing, Basic SEO errors; page-sitemap.xml

    We are using RankMath together with Elementor + WPML. We are experiencing a set of problems.

    1. Rank Math SEO tool on a Elementor page throws errors, but these can not be retracted
    examples:
    • Focus Keyword not in SEO Title: is not correct, because Keywords “ESEF” and “esef for issuers” are in SEO title
    • Focus keyword not in SEO meta description: not correct, because meta description does contain some focus keywords
    • Focus keyword is not used at the articles`s content: not correct
    • Focus keyword is not part of the content: not correct

    2. SEO Analysis of the H1 Tags
    SEO Analysis of the H1 Tags on your page. Error: “No H1 tag was found.” “For the best SEO results there should be exactly one H1 tag on each page. WordPress sites usually insert the page or post title as an H1 tag (although custom themes can change this behavior).”

    Question: Why are our H1 tags not recognized by Rank Math?
    We have set H1 tags on several pages (Elementor) However Rank math SEO analysis does not recognize that. Neither the H1 tags of original-language pages are detected nor the H1 tags of language pages translated with WPML.

    3. How to enforce updating sitemaps?

    Sitemap does contain URL to pages, which are not existing (google search console validation problem).
    How can we enforce the update of https://DOMAIN.com/page-sitemap.xml?
    It seems that Rank Math SEO Database tools do not solve the problem.

    Thank you!

    #2 If you have all the required h1 tags on the page and still the Rank Math is not able to deduct it then, Please clear the SEO Analysis data from WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools and re-run the SEO Analysis.

    Hello,

    For the first issue, the video that you’ve shared is inaccessible as the link has expired. Please have a look at the screenshot in the sensitive data section.

    For sitemap, I noticed that the affected URL simply redirects (301) to the homepage. This might be if you’ve set the fallback URL to your homepage.

    However, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    1. I can check that you haven’t written a manual meta description for the page and the auto-generated excerpt is being used as the meta description that doesn’t contain the focus keyword.

    So the content analysis is working fine and there are no issues with the results.

    2. The SEO Analysis runs the H1 test only for your homepage. I can check that there is no heading present on your homepage but still there is an empty H1 tag and that’s why you are seeing that you have one H1 tag present on your homepage in the SEO analysis.

    3. We checked and it seems like the issue is being caused by the way you have set up WPML. If you disable WPML then you can access the affected URL. So it is still present on your site and that’s why still being added to the sitemap.

    You can disable WPML and then access and remove the page from your site to resolve the issue.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

    Thanks.
