Hello,

This message follows a thread on WordPress support forum (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-translation-loading-triggering-too-early-for-rank-math/#post-18223193). As suggested on that thread, I open a ticket here.

I have the last Rank Math free version installed (1.0.235) and still get the notice:
Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the rank-math domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in D:xampphtdocsomahoungwp-includesfunctions.php on line 6114

The notice goes away when Rank Math is deactivated, and comes back when reactivated.

The notice appears both on front-end and back-end. The website is in Traditional Chinese.

Could you please assist?

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the translation loading notice in Rank Math. This notice indicates that the translation for the Rank Math domain is being triggered too early, which can be caused by code in either the plugin or theme running prematurely.

To address this issue, we recommend the following steps:
1. Update Rank Math: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math. You mentioned you have version 1.0.235, but it’s always good to check for any updates that may have been released since then.
2. Check for Theme/Plugin Conflicts: Deactivate all other plugins except for Rank Math and switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) to see if the notice persists. If it goes away, reactivate your theme and plugins one by one to identify the source of the conflict.
3. Debugging: If you are comfortable with debugging, you can enable WP_DEBUG in your wp-config.php file to get more detailed error messages that might help pinpoint the issue.
4. Contact Theme/Plugin Developers: If you identify a specific theme or plugin causing the issue, consider reaching out to their support for assistance.
If the problem continues after trying these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will take over and assist you further.

Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention!

It has been almost a month since you requested the credentials, but I haven’t received any message. The issue still persists with the latest plugin version (1.0.237). Is this serious? Do I need to debug it for you?

Hello,

Since we’re not able reproduce this issue on our development setups even with the same settings, could you please include the FTP details in the sensitive data area as well, so we may troubleshooting further by editing some of the RankMath plugin files.

We look forward to having this issue resolved.

Thank you.

Hello,

I still have similar issue on other websites.

I have check the code of your plugin. The issue is in the main file rank-math.php, line 316:

add_filter( 'cron_schedules', [ $this, 'cron_schedules' ] );

This function uses a translation ( esc_html__( ‘Once Weekly’, ‘rank-math’ ) ) which causes the warning.
```
	public function cron_schedules( $schedules ) {
		$schedules['weekly'] = [
			'interval' => DAY_IN_SECONDS * 7,
			'display'  => esc_html__( 'Once Weekly', 'rank-math' ),
		];

		return $schedules;
	}
```
It is possible (depending on the website setup) that this hook runs before the “after_setup_theme” hook you define in the same file, 2 lines before (line 314), which loads the text domain:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', [ $this, 'localization_setup' ], 1 );

If cron_schedules runs before localization_setup, there will be a warning on __( ‘Once Weekly’, ‘rank-math’ ), because the Rank Math text domain is still not loaded.

The solution I propose is to change line 316 by:
```
add_action( 'init', function() {
  add_filter( 'cron_schedules', [ $this, 'cron_schedules' ] );
});
```
This solves the issue.

Could you please insert the fix in a future plugin version?

Thank you.

This issue has been addressed in a recent update to our plugin. Can you please check if your plugin is using the latest build?

Also, the login credentials you shared in the Sensitive Data section of this ticket are no longer working. Can you please share a new working login for us to check if the issue persists?

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,
I am using the latest version of Rank Math, and no, it doesn’t fix the issue (https://temp4.omahoung.com/zh-tw/), as explained in my message. The code I provided is from the latest version of your plugin.
Could you please check the file? You should reach the same conclusion: the function cron_schedules may run too early (before your text domain is loaded). I did the test on some websites and the fix I gave you works.
Let me know if you need further clarification.
