    After installing rank math plugin in my website Armyvoice.gr I got 3 mobile Usablility errors Text too small to read (552 pages), Clickable elements too close together (552 pages) Content wider than screen (95 pages). I found something similar in the support forrum but it is about AMP not the mobile usability and I don’t know how to face it.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I don’t believe that this is related to Rank Math since the plugin does not modify the layout of your pages. The errors reported on the search console are related to your theme and the layout of your pages.

    Unfortunately switching to a different plugin won’t fix this since this is a theme issue. I can suggest that you reach out to your theme author about this or you can install an AMP plugin to serve mobile pages.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Loanna,

    That is 100% related to the AMP plugin because Rank Math only handles the Meta/Schema and Canonical URLs when it comes to AMPs.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    I work with AMP for WP plugin more than 2 years

    Hi,

    1. Have you check the Rank Math plugin from the drop-down at WordPress Dashboard > AMP > Settings > SEO?

    2. Seems like the AMPs are valid: https://search.google.com/test/amp?view=search-preview&id=ySzLF9LQ8RpUq8bHNh6kzA

    3. If you want to be sure this isn’t caused by Rank Math, you can disable Rank Math temporarily and see if the errors go away.

    Let us know if you need our assistance with anything.

    I have read in both help support forums and checked.Screen-Shot-2020-02-25-at-18-24-29

    The problem is that I have to disable rank math plugin for 24 hours if I want to see how reacts in search console and not temporarly, because I see the errors in search console.
    Do you have any other option? Ypuld you like to send yu some sensitive data in order to check it ?

    Hi Ioanna,

    Even if you provide logins, I am not sure what we would fix. It is pretty obvious that these are layout related issues – something that Rank Math does not interfere with.

    As an example, here is one of our own sites using Rank Math + AMP for WP without any issues at all:
    null

    Let us know.

    I work with newspaper theme and yoast premium SEO more than 2 years. The problem started the same day I installed rank math. It is obvius in the screenshots

    Nothing other changed in my website…

    For the moment I dispabled the optional mobile theme from newspaper . I inform you tomorrow about the results

    Hi Loanna,

    Thank you for getting back to us.

    We will be looking forward to your findings on this.

    Thank you.

    From cloudways I got this response

    We believe the issue might be related to RankMath plugin itself have you reached out to the support of Rankmath? I think that might be able to confirm why this issue is happening as we can see that a similar issue happened a few months ago as you can see here as well https://support.rankmath.com/ticket/amp-is-not-working-due-to-rankmath/

    Also I can see they pushed a major update 48 hours ago as you can see here https://rankmath.com/changelog/ it might be possible that it may have caused the conflict on your site

    As if AMP was working fine before but not now then it mean that something was caused by the Rankmath plugin

    Hi Ioanna,

    The ticket you shared was resolved 7 months ago with an update.

    You can see AMP specific tickets here: https://support.rankmath.com/product/amp-seo/?view=all

    Moreover, your AMP layout is different than it was a few months back so there is a chance that the change in layout caused this:

    We will reiterate, Rank Math does not interfere with your website’s layout at all. There are thousands of users using AMP for WP along with Rank Math without any issues.

    We wish we could help but there just isn’t anything we can do. I hope you see that.
