I don't know how a space got created at the top of my child theme functions.php file but it did. The only time I worked on it was the other day when you gave me a snippet on another topic about Google "Paywall". Thanks for the tip !! Stu

Our Rankmath xml sitemaps crashed after your last plugin update - Version 1.0.14 Please let me know if you think this problem is exclusive to this site. I don't see any errors except the page itself. thx stu

Thank you very much for the snippet. I have put this in my child themes functions.php as instructed. I put it in "As is" - except I changed the slug to "dtclogin" (I not sure if you interpreted "dtc-login" from our site somehow?) The login page (one of them) is in fact https://didtheycheat.com/dtclogin/ I believe I have done this correctly although if you type in /dtc-login it goes to /dtclogin the way google deciphers it, or somehow how we re-direct internally... -- The css classname I believe are correct. BUT I am not sure about the class name as I am not using a classname to declare paywall content, you just have to be logged in to the site (joining is free). The point is I want to make sure this is set up properly. Do I need to declare a css selector for ".paywall" ? I'm not. Other than in the code you gave me as I don't have a real paywall, just the basic registration. I wish Google would make this easier, I thought a few years ago I could give their bot a login (maybe that was adsense). I certainly appreciate all your help from mythemeshop !!! Sincerely, Stu

Google cannot crawl some of our posts because you have to be a logged in member to see. Crawl image - https://imgur.com/a/7aFSwB8 Google calls this "Paywall content" and you can alter the behavior in schema, but I cannot with your plugin.

We have PHP 7+ since over a year. It appears there were about 6 or more plugin updates yesterday from major developers and too many conflicts to track. After all the updates everything seems to have settled down and working as expected. WP is changing fast and the blocks editor and other updates have people working overtime to keep up. Thanks for your patience. Stu

You understand I cannot reactivate the Rank Math plugin at all after de-activating it. I de-activated ALL plugins, cleared all caches restarted php-fpm and nginx. thx stu

I added to the sensitive data area. Yes I am using Version 1.0.11 - Fatal error on reactivation

Hello, I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further? Thank you.

I send mail via the Sendgrid API seamlessly for years using the Post SMTP Plugin. It stopped sending mail after your last upgrade. When I deactivate Rank Math mail sends fine. Can you please help me investigate this issue? Thanks stu ref: https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-smtp/

Ok that was harsh, your tool is written very well. I'm used to the granular control to put in text area if locale or region is in a type, Again, since I'm new and a bit unfamiliar with the UI can you point me to where the "Social" tab is inside Rank Math. The reason why I found it hard to find the Schema is in the instructions you say "Schema Tab" but in fact there is no tab it is inside "Posts & Pages". Thank you very much, Stu

I now see in settings the "Article" schema for posts. This is slipshod work slip·shod /ˈslipˌSHäd/ None of my youtube, linkedin or other socials were imported that were in the schema pro plugin. If I turn that back on it is ALL there. I have 40,000 users on this site I cannot give you login credentials - I've never purchased anything from you and I don't have the confidence you can correct this if the basic schema is corrupt from the import. If you have a real solution please send me the work flow to implement same. thx stu

Yes. https://imgur.com/a/2Rlpo3t

I see a few problems that I resolved regarding sitemaps. hmmm, I'm on an NGINX server, .htaccess does not do rewrites correctly on urls (unlike apache with htaccess). Is this a known issue? thx stu

I know you're doing a great job here helping me. I've been around WordPress and SEO 10 years................... however - I do not have a "Rich Snippets" tab in my Rank Math Set up. What am I missing, can you tell me - I have drilled down through the menu's but cannot find anything for schema... Screenshot Link thx stu

Thank You. That is good, I did import this when I initially launched your wizard. How do I now create new Schema's? Do you have all the Schema Types in Rank Math. I do not see where I can create new Schema? thanks stu

Hello Support, I have a warning about a 2nd SEO plugin. I installed Rank Math about a month ago. I'm a bit confused as to the schema, I have a Schema Pro plugin from Astra (https://wpschema.com/), which by itself is not an SEO plugin. I don't have any other SEO related plugin. I know Rank Math imported my Yoast data, did you also import the Schema when I set it up? As I said I'm a bit confused and think maybe the nag I'm getting is redundant. Thanks for any clarification you can provide. Sincerely, Stu
