  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with validating your Rank Math SEO registration data. It sounds like you’ve already taken some steps to resolve the issue by reconnecting and adding the suggested configuration lines to your wp-config.php file.

    If you are still encountering the same error, here are a few additional steps you can try:

    1. Double-check the Configuration: Ensure that the lines added to your wp-config.php file are correct and placed right after the define('NONCE_SALT', ... line. The lines should look like this:
      
      define( 'RANK_MATH_ENCRYPTION_KEY', 'S)xC=}0D!J;GB[Waz*)@lQ@!?MmXjQp>w57v!zeK,{WzdlF3>lnU5G8

    Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    Please head over to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > General and make sure there are no mismatches in the WordPress URL and Site URL in those options.

    ​​​​​​​If you have different website URLs in there, that would explain the issue as they need to match for the connection to happen correctly.

    To remedy that, you need to add a filter code to your website that will bypass the URL check when you connect your Rank Math account to your website. This might help if there is some issue with your server configuration or DNS settings.

    To add the filter code, please follow this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

    Here’s the filter code you need to add to your website.:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/registration/do_url_check', '__return_false' );

    You can add it to your theme’s functions.php file or use a plugin like Code Snippets.

    For more information on why this issue happens and how to fix it, you can check this page: https://rankmath.com/kb/problems-while-connecting-account/

    Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Just found out cloudflare was the problem, have whitelisted you there and now all is good
