    Hi.

    I’m using the power words “How to” in a post title. Rank Math give the error “Your title doesn’t contain a power word. Add at least one.”

    I’ve disable all plugins, including my page builder, and the error is still displayed.

    I’ve added the following code snippet to my child theme’s functions file.
    /**
    * Filter to add custom Power Words
    */
    add_filter( ‘rank_math/metabox/power_words’, function( $words ){
    $new_words = [
    ‘How to’
    ];
    return array_merge( $words, $new_words );
    });

    YOu can view the page at https://atomiceducation.tech/blog/how-to-write-a-story-based-email/

    Help?

  • BTW, other posts use Create and this is being picked up as a power word.

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    You can only add a word as a power keyword. If you use space then it isn’t considered a word. You can use HowTo or How-To in the code snippet and the same in your title if you want to use it as a power keyword.

    However, passing the power keyword test will not have any effect on your site’s SEO performance and it is just for your reference.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Thanks for your email.

    Then why is the phrase in your list of power ‘words’?

    To have it in your list, along with other phrases, and then tell me they can’t be used for the metric and then tell me to basically ignore the error in Rank Math is ridiculous.

    Having said that, thanks for the info even though I just wasted time trying to troubleshoot this as per Rank Math’s advice in other posts.
