Hello,
I apologize for the issues you are facing with the Rank Math plugin. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention.
1. Rank Math Post Sitemap Not Working
For the sitemap issue, it’s important to ensure that the sitemap settings in Rank Math are correctly configured. You can check this by navigating to Rank Math > Sitemap Settings in your WordPress dashboard. Make sure that the sitemap is enabled and that there are no conflicting plugins affecting its functionality. If the problem persists, please reply to this ticket with more details about any error messages or behaviors you observe when trying to access the sitemap.
2. Keyword Density Issue
Regarding the keyword density showing as 0.00, this typically indicates that the focus keyword has not been used in the post content as expected. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot this:
- Ensure that you have set a focus keyword in the Rank Math meta box for the post.
- Check that the focus keyword is included in your post content naturally. Aim for a keyword density of around 1-1.5% for optimal results.
- If you are using variations of the keyword, make sure they are also relevant and included in the content.
If you continue to experience issues with keyword density not registering correctly, please reply to this ticket with the specific post URL where this is happening, and we can investigate further.
