    Hello,

    I’m currently experiencing serious issues caused by Rank Math SEO Pro on my WordPress site. Here’s a full summary:
    Elementor stops loading unless in Safe Mode
    After updating Elementor to the latest version, the page builder stopped loading completely. It only loads when Elementor is in Safe Mode, which suggests a plugin conflict.

    After extensive testing, I confirmed that deactivating Rank Math SEO Pro resolves the issue. When it is active, Elementor won’t load.
    Update Failure – Rank Math SEO Pro
    When attempting to update Rank Math SEO Pro via the WordPress dashboard, I get the following error:

    PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10): Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

    This error occurs repeatedly, even after clearing all caches and using different browsers. I suspect the update package may be corrupted or incomplete.

    Additional Issues
    I’m also noticing duplicate schema.org markup on several pages (especially FAQ, MedicalClinic, BreadcrumbList).

    Some meta descriptions and titles are not loading properly when Rank Math is active.

    The issue is isolated to this site – other sites with the same version of Elementor but no Rank Math Pro are working fine.

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issues you are facing with Rank Math SEO Pro on your WordPress site. Thank you for providing a detailed summary of the problems.

    Elementor Loading Issue

    It seems that there might be a conflict between Rank Math and Elementor, especially since you mentioned that Elementor only loads in Safe Mode when Rank Math is deactivated. To troubleshoot this:

    1. Check for Plugin Conflicts: You can refer to our guide on checking plugin conflicts to identify if any other plugins are causing the issue.
    2. Update Rank Math: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math. If you are unable to update due to the error, please follow the steps below.

    Update Failure

    The error message PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) indicates a problem with the update package. Here are some steps to resolve this:

    1. Reconnect Your Website: Go to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Dashboard → Help, and click Disconnect Account. Then reconnect your account by clicking Connect Now.
    2. Manual Update: If the issue persists, consider manually updating Rank Math by downloading the latest version from your account on our website and uploading it via the WordPress dashboard.

    Duplicate Schema Markup

    For the duplicate schema markup issue, it’s essential to check if any other plugins or your theme are adding schema data that conflicts with Rank Math. You can try disabling other plugins one by one to see if that resolves the duplication.

    Meta Descriptions and Titles

    If meta descriptions and titles are not loading properly, ensure that you have configured them correctly in the Rank Math settings. You can refer to our guide on fixing duplicate meta tags for further assistance.

    If these steps do not resolve your issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve these matters.
