Rank Math Is Not Calculating SEO Score and not Reading Internal/External Links

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with Rank Math not calculating the SEO score and not detecting internal/external links. It sounds like there may have been a problem during the migration process from Yoast SEO to Rank Math.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Ensure You Are Using the Latest Version: Make sure that you have the latest version of Rank Math installed. Sometimes, issues can arise from using an outdated version of the plugin.

2. Re-import Data: If you encountered an error during the SEO score recalculation, you might want to try re-importing your data. You can do this by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export → Other Plugins and selecting the appropriate options to import your data again. Make sure to uncheck the Calculate SEO Scores option during this import if it caused issues previously.

3. Recalculate SEO Scores: After successfully importing your data, you can recalculate the SEO scores for your posts. You can find this option in the same area where you imported your data.

4. Check for Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins or themes can conflict with Rank Math. Try disabling other plugins temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.

5. Clear Cache: If you have any caching plugins installed, clear the cache after making changes to ensure that you are seeing the most up-to-date information.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we look forward to helping you get everything working smoothly!
