Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the focus keyword not showing in the post list. This can happen for a few reasons, and here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue:
-
Check Rank Math Settings: Ensure that the focus keyword is correctly set in the Rank Math meta box for that post. Sometimes, if the settings are not saved properly, it may not reflect in the post list.
-
Update the Post: Try updating the post again. Sometimes, simply re-saving the post can refresh the data and make the focus keyword appear.
-
Clear Cache: If you are using any caching plugins, clear your site cache. Caching can sometimes prevent changes from appearing immediately.
-
Check for Conflicts: Deactivate other plugins temporarily to see if there’s a conflict causing this issue. If the focus keyword appears after deactivating a plugin, you may need to identify which plugin is causing the conflict.
-
Theme Compatibility: Ensure that your theme is compatible with Rank Math. Sometimes, themes may not display certain features correctly.
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!
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I can confirm this is happening to me on multiple sites I manage.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
We’re able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Rank Math, where the keywords and score are not showing on the list view.
However, this has already been fixed and is available in our beta update: https://rankmath.com/kb/version-control/#beta-updates
If you don’t want to update to the beta version, you can wait for the official update, which will be pushed in a few days.
We really appreciate your patience in the meantime.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello,
This is to notify you that we have just released a new update that fixed the bug. The latest version of the Rank Math Free plugin is 1.0.256 when you check the changelog.
If you don’t see the new update for the Rank Math plugins, please head over to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Status & Tools > Database Tools and clear the transients:

Then, proceed to WordPress Dashboard > Plugins and see if you are able to see a new version of the plugin that you can update to, which should correct the issue after performing the update.
If you still don’t see an update, you can try the manual installation by downloading the latest Rank Math version from your account and installing it on your website.
We hope this resolves the issue for you. If you still face any problems or have any questions, please let us know. We’re always here to help.
Thank you for choosing Rank Math.
