Confirming a Theme/Plugin Conflict With Rank Math
Hello,
The characters seem to be coming from the HTML tag strong which is usually used to set a particular set of text to be bold.
Did you make any changes to the theme or layout you are using on the website? Those changes in theme could cause issues like this because each theme has its own particular rules for the headings and we use headings to add the questions to the FAQ block.
It is possible that this could happen by copying content that has some HTML formatting, such as the strong that we mentioned and the plugin incorrectly interprets that as being part of the content and tries to escape the < and > between the HTML tags.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
No i haven’t changed the theme or layout recently.
How can I fix this issue?
The problem only seems to exist within the RankMath FAQ blocks.
Hello,
This shouldn’t be coming from the Rank Math plugin. When we deactivated the Rank Math plugin on your site, the issue was still occurring – you can try it on your end.
Also, it looks like the characters are in the content itself, so please try recreating the affected content with only the Rank Math plugin active to see if the issue persists, then you can activate your plugins one after the other
We are looking forward to hearing back from you.
