    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support.

    If you’re certain that the “iThemes Security” plugin is causing the issue, we recommend you get in touch with the support of that plugin as they might already have a solution for the issue and they would be in a better position to assist you.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    I am not sure but I think it causing the Change WordPress Salts “Run” button inside iThemes Security.
    But not causing if I Change WordPress Salts manually directly via wp-config.php with the following link:
    https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/

    Even if I Change WordPress Salts manually directly via wp-config.php, Rank Math SEO” Dashboard / Help, my account is automatically Disconnected

    So there is no conflict with iThemes Security.

    Hello,

    Can you please share some error logs when your account is disconnected so we can further determine what’s causing the issue?

    You may ask for the error log from your hosting provider if you are not sure where to find it.

    Looking forward to helping you on this one.

    Rank Math Pro is installed but not activated yet. Activate now. It only takes 20 seconds!

    This happens if I scheduled the post…

    Hello,

    When you connect your site, the API key and other user data are stored in your database, and it gets encrypted for added security. For this encryption, Rank Math uses the secret keys defined in your wp-config.php file (the LOGGED_IN_KEY & LOGGED_IN_SALT values).

    These keys can be regenerated for security purposes and some security plugins even do this automatically on a scheduled basis. This creates a problem because the encrypted data cannot be decrypted with the new keys.

    A possible solution for the issue is to define the RANK_MATH_ENCRYPTION_KEY & RANK_MATH_ENCRYPTION_SALT constants in your wp-config.php file and make sure not to change those. When these constants are set, Rank Math will use them instead of the core’s keys which get replaced from time to time.

    You can add the following code in the wp-config.php file, right after the define('NONCE_SALT', ... line in it:

    define( 'RANK_MATH_ENCRYPTION_KEY', 'S)xC=}0D!J;GB[Waz*)@lQ@!?MmXjQp>w57v!zeK,{WzdlF3>lnU5G8<N]kq^{' );
    define( 'RANK_MATH_ENCRYPTION_SALT', '/V2&9r-3E0$#E/jY#D_+|4|jw*VOg,N9S~8-^jEgnzgZ @Y9U!Cz@~D0WgBuyf{' );

    Then, please reconnect your Rank Math account one more time and see if that fixes the issue: https://rankmath.com/kb/website-not-shown-in-account/#how-to-disconnect-your-rank-math-account

    Let us know how that goes.

    Thank you.
