Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with updating the Rank Math Pro plugin. To resolve the error you are encountering, please follow these steps:
1. Reconnect Your Website with Rank Math
Sometimes, simply reconnecting your website can fix update issues. Here’s how to do it:
- Go to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Dashboard → Help.
- Click on Disconnect Account.

- After disconnecting, click on the Connect Now button on the same page.

- Select the correct account and click on OK, Activate Now.

2. Check for Plugin Conflicts
There might be a conflict with another plugin or your theme. You can check for conflicts by following this guide: Check Plugin/Theme Conflict With Rank Math.
3. Ensure You Are Using the Latest Version
Make sure that you are using the latest version of both Rank Math and Rank Math Pro. You can check for updates in Plugins → Installed Plugins in your WordPress dashboard.
If there are updates available, click the update now link below the plugin.

4. Encryption Key Issue
If the error persists, it may be due to an encryption issue. You can define the RANK_MATH_ENCRYPTION_KEY
and RANK_MATH_ENCRYPTION_SALT
constants in your wp-config.php file. Add the following code right after the define('NONCE_SALT', ...
line:
define( 'RANK_MATH_ENCRYPTION_KEY', 'S)xC=}0D!J;GB[Waz*)@lQ@!?MmXjQp>w57v!zeK,{WzdlF3>lnU5G8
