Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with the debug code on your website when setting it to ‘true’, specifically on certain Custom Post Type pages. It seems like you are encountering deprecated code warnings related to Rank Math on different websites with different setups.
The debug code you provided indicates deprecated functions being used in the Rank Math plugin. These warnings are related to the preg_match_all() and preg_split() functions being passed null values, which is causing the deprecation notices.
To address this issue, you can follow these steps:
-
Check for Plugin Conflicts: Ensure that there are no conflicting plugins causing these deprecated warnings. You can refer to our list of known plugin conflicts to identify any conflicting plugins.
-
Update Rank Math: Make sure you are using the latest version of Rank Math to ensure compatibility and access any bug fixes related to deprecated functions.
-
Contact Support: If the issue persists after updating Rank Math and checking for conflicts, you can reach out to our dedicated support team by clicking here. They are available 24/7 to assist you with any problems you encounter.

As said before ,
Everything is up to date , i did conflict testing aswell and it’s still an issue.
Server & minimum requirements are also fine.
Thanks in advance
I have the same notices.
They start with PHP8.1 (no probs with 8.0)
The issue is occuring on pages where both fields for Meta Description and OG-description are empty.
Hello,
We tried to replicate the issue on our test environment with the PHP version set to 8.0 and 8.1.
We created a Custom Post Type and then created entries under it. We turned debug mode to true and opened the CPT pages on the frontend and backend, and we did not get any errors even with the meta information being blank or set to the default value.
For us to know more about your setup, please head over to your WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > System Status and click the “Copy System Info to Clipboard” button, and paste it here so we can further analyze the issue.
@dxvwebmaster, if possible, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/
We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
It seems that the error is rendered when your WPbakery is enabled. Allow us to check this further with our developers.
We should get back to you shortly with a solution.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello,
Your site was showing 4 PHP Deprecated warnings. Of these, 3 were being triggered by the Rank Math Link Attribute code, which adds “nofollow” and “target” attributes to external links. To fix this, I added the following condition on line 114 in the includes/frontend/class-link-attributes.php file:
if (empty($content)) {
return $content;
}
I have also logged this issue and we will include a fix in the upcoming update.
Now, your site is showing only 1 warning, which seems to be triggered by the WP Bakery plugin when the get_the_excerpt() function is used in the wp_head hook. We use this function to add the excerpt content to the Opengraph description. This issue is not specific to the Rank Math plugin; you’ll see this issue with other plugins as well that use this function in the head hook. Please forward this to the WPBakery team so they can take a look at it.
Hope that helps.
Okay thank you very much for the effort. Great work. I’ll wait for the update on my other sites 🙂 !
