How to enable Instant Indexing in Rank Math?

    Rank Math free

    I installed Rank Math on my site and also Instant Indexing, but this plugin wasn’t activated in Rank Math (the blue button was off), and I get the message: “You cannot deactivate this module because the Instant Indexing plugin is active on this site.” I also received the following message: “Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.” I’ve updated all plugins and WordPress, but the plugin still displays the same message! What’s going on, and what can I do?

  • Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with enabling Instant Indexing in Rank Math. It seems like there might be a conflict between the Instant Indexing plugin and the Rank Math settings. Here’s how you can enable Instant Indexing:

    1. Enable the Instant Indexing Module: Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Rank Math SEO. Look for the Instant Indexing module and ensure it is activated.

    2. Submit Pages for Indexing: Once the module is activated, you can submit your posts for indexing by hovering over the post on the Posts page and selecting Instant Indexing: Submit Page.

    3. Check Index Status: You can check your page’s index status by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Analytics → Index Status.

    Regarding the warning message about the plugin not being tested with your current version of WordPress, this could indicate that the Instant Indexing plugin may not be fully compatible with your version of WordPress. If you have updated all plugins and WordPress but still see this message, it might be best to check for any updates from the plugin developer or consider reaching out to them for support.

    If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

    My problem has not been resolved and I have the same problem on two of my websites: http://www.blogmisto.com and http://www.drpaulomaciel.com.br

    Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    This is expected behavior. Rank Math does not allow deactivating the Instant Indexing module while the Instant Indexing plugin is active on your site.

    As for your other issue, please head over to your WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > System Status and click the “Copy System Info to Clipboard” button, and paste it here so we can further analyze the issue.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Hello,

    Please clear your website caches, then head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools > and click on the button “Remove Transients”. See the screenshot below for your reference:

    If the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login 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:

    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):
