Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing while trying to update the Rank Math SEO PRO plugin. The error message you are encountering, "PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10): Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature," typically indicates a problem with the downloaded update package.
Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:
-
Reconnect Your Website with Rank Math: Sometimes, simply disconnecting and reconnecting your website can resolve update issues. You can do this by going to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Dashboard → Help, then click on Disconnect Account. After that, click on Connect Now to reconnect.

-
Manual Update: If the automatic update continues to fail, you can manually update Rank Math PRO. Here’s how:
- Download the latest version of Rank Math PRO from your account area.
- Go to Plugins → Add New in your WordPress dashboard and click on Upload Plugin.

- Choose the downloaded zip file and click on Install Now. If prompted, select Replace current with uploaded.

-
