How to Change URL in Rankmath

    I have changed my URL and the new URL has been verified with Google Analytics. I thought it had also been changed in Rankmath, but I see that this is not the case and Rankmath still has my old URL. Can you please guide me through the steps to do this? I tried adding the Google HTML code to the header and also to the top of the home page, but both came back with “unable to verify Your meta tag is not in the <head> section of your home page.” Can you please help me with this? Thank you.

    Thank you. My domain was verified a long time ago. I have replaced the old Google Site Verification ID with the new one in Rankmath Webmaster Tools but when I continue through the setup wizard it still shows the old URL.

    I also have a second issue. I am getting a warning message on my WP dashboard that says ‘Please keep only one SEO plugin active, otherwise you might lose your rankings and traffic.’ As far as I know Rankmath is the only SEO tool I am using. Any ideas?

    Thanks so much for your help.

    Hello,

    I think we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    About each of the issues:

    1. Could you let us know where it happens so we can check it?
    2. I have not seen that error in the dashboard. Did you solve it? If not, could you let us know where do you see it?
    3. Could you share with us the report so we can check it?
    4. Do you mean the attachment pages? If yes, you have already that option enabled: https://i.rankmath.com/GX8T5R
    5. Which files give you issues? So we can check how to improve them.

    Looking forward to help you.

    Thank you, I have sent an email.

    1. OLD URL – If I go into the Rankmath Setup Wizard and go through the steps for the Advanced option the domain name that appears is still the old URL.
    I have sent an email with a screen shot of this.
    2. The error message is no longer there, so that’s good news. This one is resolved.:)
    3. I have attached a copy of the Semrush report in the email. If you can offer any insight into any of the errors, warnings or notices that would be amazing.
    4. This issue of images having page links is from the Semrush report. You will see this in the report, but I have also included a screen shot in the email.
    5. This issue of unminified Javascript and CSS is from the Semrush report. You will see this in the report, but I have also included a screen shot in the email.

    Thanks again for looking into this and for your excellent support.

    Hello,

    To attach images you can upload them to https://ibb.co/ or https://imgur.com/. After that, you could share those URLs in the Sensitive Data section.

    After you do that, let us know so we can continue checking it.

    Looking forward to help you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I have tested authorization on your site with an account having several websites and it seems to work fine. Please head over to GSC and check if you have changed or added your new domain name to your account. It is likely that you still have your old domain in your GSC

    Regarding the issue with resources being formatted as page links you can head over to Rank math > General settings and enable the option to nofollow image file links.
    On the HSTS issue, you can run the domain through the HSTS Pre-load checklist (hstspreload.org) and it will tell you the errors that need to be corrected. Others are just notices of pages and redirections.

    You seem to have a number of redirections on your site being handled by your redirection plugin. I recommend you disable the redirection module in rank math to avoid conflicts with your standalone plugin.

    The issue with image files having pagelinks is tagged by semrush because your image contain a href tag. This is just a notice and has no effect on your site on google, however have guided you on how to add no follow to these links.

    You can use a plugin such as WPFast Cache to minify your CSS and Js

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
