Rank Math Plugin Causing Site Errors on Activation

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing with the Rank Math plugin causing errors on your website. This type of problem can sometimes occur due to conflicts with other plugins or themes, or it may be related to an older version of the Action Scheduler used by some plugins.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Check for Plugin Conflicts: You can use the Troubleshooting Mode in Rank Math to identify if another plugin is causing the conflict. Enable one plugin at a time and check if the issue persists. If you find a conflicting plugin, you may need to contact its developer for assistance.
   

2. Clear Cache: Make sure to clear all caches, including server cache, after making changes.

3. Update Rank Math: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math, as updates often include bug fixes and improvements.

4. Manual Fix: If the error is related to the Action Scheduler, you can try a manual fix by adding a code snippet. Here’s how:

   • Go to the Snippets menu in your WordPress dashboard and click Add New.
   • Name the snippet and paste the following code:

     add_action( 'init', function() { delete_option( 'schema-ActionScheduler_StoreSchema' ); } );

   • Select ‘Only run in administration area’ and save it.
   • After saving, deactivate the snippet and try activating Rank Math again.
     

5. Professional Setup Service: If you would like comprehensive assistance, we recommend our professional setup service available at Rank Math Services. This service requires a PRO subscription and ensures that your plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards.
