    Help Urgently!!
    The rank math plugin was automatically updated on my site which caused a fatal Error. See details below. I have deactivated the plug-in until I hear back from you. How do I change the setting of the plug-in not to automatically update??

    These plugins are now up to date:
    – Rank Math SEO (from version 1.0.70 to 1.0.71)

    When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
    WordPress version 5.8
    Current theme: Rey Child (version 1.0.0) Current plugin: Rank Math SEO (version 1.0.71) PHP version 8.0.10

  • Hello,

    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.

    I prefer not to provide access to my live site. I will take a copy of my live site and install in a staging environment. once done I will provide access.

    I took a copy of the live environment and I set up the staging environment. I then tried to activate the Rank Math plugin and it immediately caused the fatal error again.

    I’m unable to access my wordpress dashboard as the recovery email was sent to the staging admin email address which was not setup at the time. I will need to clear out my staging environment and re-start the process. Unless you can provide me with details of how to access the dashboard another way?

    Thanks,
    Nisha

    Hello,

    To disable Rank Math on your staging site, you can FTP to the root directory and delete/rename the folder seo-by-rank-math in /wp-content/plugins.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Let us know if the issue still persists upon installing the latest version.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
