Hello @mark-klinefelter,
What you’re experiencing is usually related to how some themes load their styles differently on the frontend compared to the editor. Because Rank Math’s Table of Contents inherits heading styles from the theme, it’s possible for H2/H3 spacing to look correct in the backend but appear different on the live page. This can also explain why most TOCs look fine while a few do not, even when using the same template.
Since you were able to improve the H2 spacing by adjusting its line-height, the remaining gap between H2 and H3 is likely coming from the theme’s margin/padding settings.
You can try adding the following CSS in Appearance → Editor → Styles → Additional CSS to control both the line height and the spacing between H2 and H3 items in the TOC:
.wp-block-rank-math-toc-block ul li {
line-height: 1em !important;
}
.wp-block-rank-math-toc-block ul li ul li {
margin-top: 4px !important; /* adjust value as needed */
}This targets nested items (typically H3 under H2) and allows you to fine-tune the distance between them.
If the CSS still behaves inconsistently across pages, it usually means the theme is overriding styles at runtime. In that case, you can try injecting the style directly so it loads later than the theme:
add_action('wp_head', function() {
echo '<style>
.wp-block-rank-math-toc-block ul li { line-height: 1em !important; }
.wp-block-rank-math-toc-block ul li ul li { margin-top: 4px !important; }
</style>';
});Please note that Rank Math’s TOC is designed to follow the active theme’s typography, so appearance differences can occur and are outside the plugin’s full control. That said, your suggestion about having manual controls for H2/H3 spacing is valuable. If this is something we can add in our plugin in the futurue, we will surely do.
If possible, once the site is live, feel free to share a URL of an affected page so we can inspect the exact styles being applied and provide more precise CSS.
Hope that helps.
Hello @zlatimuud,
Having the
rank_math/analytics/data_fetchaction in Pending is normal, as it runs every 3 days. You can try running it manually by going to WP Dashboard → Tools → Scheduled Actions and clicking Run for that action (here’s a screenshot for reference: https://i.rankmath.com/vXJHTo).If it runs successfully, you can safely cancel the other.
Hope that helps.

Hello @mesmer7,
Thank you for the update. We’re glad to hear your site is stable again. Based on what you’ve described, it seems the errors were not related to Rank Math or the deleted GeoIP files. It’s possible a plugin or theme update may have triggered a temporary conflict.
If the errors reappear after future updates, please don’t hesitate to reach out so we can investigate further.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re happy to hear Rank Math is making such a positive impact on your site. Thank you again for the 5-star feedback and for using Rank Math.
Hello @kayahnung,
Thanks for your feedback.
We want to clarify that we don’t force anyone to use or purchase Content AI as all suggestions in Rank Math are optional and meant to improve your workflow, not your ranking requirements. You can ignore them without any impact on your usual SEO process.
Regarding the SEO score differences, when using Elementor, it’s best to rely on the score inside Elementor’s visual builder. Some shortcodes aren’t readable in the default editor, which can cause discrepancies. These scores are just guidelines and your content should always be written primarily for your readers, not search engines.
We appreciate your input and hope this clears things up.
Hello @mesmer7,
Please observe if you are still getting the same error after changing the author settings. If the issue persists, we will need to check this further on your site. Please email our support team at support@rankmath.com so we can assist you further.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hi @beamkiller,
Thank you for your detailed explanation.
Yes, it is safe to clean up the
rank_math_news_sitemap_robotsmeta entries if the News Sitemap feature is not enabled. Those entries are not required in your case.However, the number of
rank_math_robotsrows you’re seeing does seem unusually high for your number of posts/products. It’s possible there are duplicate meta entries for the samepost_idandmeta_key.Please run a SELECT query to check for duplicates (grouped by
post_idandmeta_key) to confirm this. If duplicates are found, you may safely remove them using an SQL query. But please ensure you take a full database backup first before making any changes.If the row count continues to increase after cleanup, we’ll need to investigate this further on your site. In that case, please email us at support@rankmath.com, and we’ll be happy to assist you in more detail.
Looking forward to your update.
Hello @zlatimuud,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
If you wish to disable the Analytics Stats bar without connecting to your Google account, you can disable the Analytics module in Rank Math → dashboard → Modules or you can apply this filter code in your website:
/**
* Filter to hide Analytics Stats bar from the frontend
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/analytics/frontend_stats', '__return_false' );You may refer to this guide on how to add filters to your website: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
Hope that helps.
Hi @bba01,
Thank you so much for getting in touch.
You can achieve this by excluding the product category with ID 25 from both indexing and sitemap generation.
You can use the following filter code below:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
if ( is_singular( 'product' ) && has_term( 25, 'product_cat' ) ) {
$robots['index'] = 'noindex';
$robots['follow'] = 'nofollow';
}
return $robots;
});
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/entry', function( $url, $type, $object ){
if($object->post_type === 'product' && has_term( 25, 'product_cat', $object->ID) ) {
return false;
}
return $url;
}, 10, 3 );You may refer to this guide on how to add filters to your website: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
Hope tha thelps.
Hello @marcbossert,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
Those options should not normally cause the WordPress admin area to load slowly. To help identify what’s happening, please install the Query Monitor plugin and check whether there are any slow database queries, PHP errors, or other resource-intensive processes running when those options are enabled.
If you’d like us to investigate this more deeply on your website, please email our support team directly at support@rankmath.com. We’ll be happy to assist you further.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello @harvis,
Using that type of URL structure is not bad for SEO. Google does not penalize keyword repetition in URLs as long as they remain clear, readable, and accurately reflect the page content.
What matters more for SEO is that the URL structure is logical and consistent, the page content and titles are properly optimized, and you avoid creating multiple URLs for the same content. If the redundancy helps maintain a clean hierarchy and avoids technical limitations in WordPress, it’s perfectly fine to use.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.
