    Rank Math free

    Hi there,
    We have issues with our SEO : we use WordPress, with Elementor, RankMath for the SEO & Translate Press for the traduction. All of the above in the FREE VERSION therefore I do not have access to the SEO plug in in RankMAth for ex. We are also amateur not familiar with all of this, no not that capable to dig into complicated code.
    The issue I have is that our main page is “safetyshreddays.com” and that’s the French page. it should always be the main one and most important. Now the issue I have is now we are the first on google (thanks to Rankmath I was able to make improvement but our site isn’t built the best way i know), but with the ENGLISH page. And the metadescrioption of that english page (safetyshreddays.com/en) is the french description … and I can’t seem to change it. I cannot access Rankmath when I’m on the english-translated version since it was translated using Translate Press.. I’ve check the balise hlang they are all good, we have a canonic balise as well … So I’m thinking it comes from the description and titles. Can you help me ?? It’s driving me crazy.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Best regards,

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your SEO setup. It sounds like you’re experiencing challenges with the SEO metadata for your English page being incorrectly set to the French description.

    Since you are using Rank Math and TranslatePress, here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:

    1. Accessing SEO Information: When you are on the English version of your page, you may not see the Rank Math meta box directly. To edit the SEO title and meta description for the English page, you can use the TranslatePress interface.

      • Open the English page in the front-end editor and click on the Translate Page link in the WordPress toolbar.
      • In the sidebar, look for the Meta Information section where you can find the SEO title and description set by Rank Math. You can then edit these fields to ensure they reflect the correct English content.

    2. Translating SEO Elements: Make sure to translate your SEO title and meta description specifically for the English version. You can do this by selecting the appropriate elements in the sidebar and entering the correct translations.

    3. Check URL Slugs: Ensure that your URL slugs are also translated correctly. You can do this by selecting the slug from the Slugs section in TranslatePress and editing it as needed.

    4. Verify Changes: After making these changes, verify that your English page is now displaying the correct SEO information by checking it in a search engine or viewing the source code of the page.

    If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope this helps resolve your issue!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    We just checked your website and noticed that the important metadata is not translated to the English version of the website, so you have essentially duplicated the same website.

    We recommend following the steps in our tutorial to set up Rank Math with TranslatePress here: https://rankmath.com/kb/multiple-languages-seo-rankmath-translatepress/

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Hi there,
    Many thanks,
    does this means I need to buy the add-on package for TranslatePress ? I checked your link but the translation seems to be only possible when we have the premium package from what I can see.
    I don’t remember having this issue with my company website (www.agencej.com) and I’m working with the same tools, except elementor.
    Many thanks for your kind help,

    Great

    Hello,

    Can you clarify where you saw the Rank Math PRO requirement so we can take a look?

    Translating your website does not require the Rank Math PRO plugin or subscription, so you should be able to use the guide we shared above with your Rank Math FREE plugin.

    We hope this helps clarify the issue. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

    I there, I was talking about the Translate Press add-on (pro); it seems to be only possible from their own premium package.
    Step 3.1 from your link : I can’t see the “SEO” info in the dropdown from Translate press since I don’t have the add-on. I only have access to these cateogries “list of chain” “chain gettext” “images”. It says also underneath to go PRO to translate the SEO… Is there a way around it via RankMath ?
    Again i didn’t have to go through this for my http://www.agencej.com but maybe it’s because of elementor ?
    Thanks

    Great

    Hello,

    I’m afraid, you will have to speak with TranslatePress about that, as they’d be in the best position to speak about their free and pro features availabilities.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation
