Getting worse – No power word detection / No url / no H2,H3 / No Alt atrribute

The image links provides above may be difficult to open as there seems some DNS routing problems. Here are updated screnshot links:

No recognition of Alt Attributes: https://pasteboard.co/ikuiRhIVyEML.jpg

No recognition of H3 headline using keyword “Ver?nderungsprozesse”: https://pasteboard.co/404FPV4eHNVp.jpg

No power Word recognition: https://pasteboard.co/eSVqn4eoRddA.jpg

An url will not be detected (“?” gets “ae”): https://pasteboard.co/zggf9vxhXhyc.jpg

Hello @hirschferkel,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

1. The focus keyword in URL test is working fine on our end. https://i.rankmath.com/i/COmWq6
   Please make sure that you are using the latest version of our plugin: https://rankmath.com/changelog/
2. The text you have highlighted is image caption, not ALT text. The ALT attribute is empty. Here is a screenshot for your reference: https://i.rankmath.com/i/sfepI5
   Please add the ALT text to the image in the Media Library or in the image widget settings to pass the test.
3. The text is not directly under the H3 tag. It is under the span tag and won’t be considered a heading and that’s why the test is failing: https://i.rankmath.com/i/sALV4Z
   Please make sure to add an H3 heading without using a span tag inside it to pass the test.
4. The Power Word test is for the SEO title, not the page title. Please add the power in the SEO title of our plugin’s snippet editor to pass the test.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Thanks for your answer. Actually it does not meet any solution.

I use RankMath version 1.0.212.1
Maybe RankMath is not compatible to the latest Elementor Update?

1. URL is still marked missing fokus keyword, so how to solve it?
2. I changed it, so the image contains an Alt-Atribute, now. It is still marked missing! How to solve this? https://pasteboard.co/cu2LYaAVVIaZ.png
3. It is not the way Elementor works. Elementor will always add a span tag for styling attributes in it’s text widget. It will be used for all Elementor text styling. So Rank Math should cope with it, as long as it is called to work with Elementor, right?
   
   But I manually deleted the span attribute and Rank Math does still not recognize the H3 headline: https://pasteboard.co/NoSf2YPzbPGt.png
4. The SEO titel contains the power word: https://pasteboard.co/FIpI4epMypot.png

What Rank Math still shows: https://pasteboard.co/p1BxK3Tg6qt8.png

Please refer to this images, to understand, what is currently not working properly.

So is there a way to solve these issues?

Hello @hirschferkel,

1 – 3. Can you please let us know what Elementor version number you are currently using?
4. The power word “blitzschnell” is currently not on the list of our german power words. https://rankmath.com/blog/power-words/#german

Please make use of this filter code to manually add that power word to the test:
add_filter( 'rank_math/metabox/power_words', function( $words ){ $new_words = [ 'blitzschnell' ]; return array_merge( $words, $new_words ); });
You may refer to this guide on how to add filters to your website:?https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Looking forward to helping you.

It’s version Version 3.19.2

4 is not crucial, but 1-3 is really annoying, as it makes RankMath estimates not credible…

Is there a way to upload more Power Words as a list. It’s nearly missing all power words in German and it does not make sense to upload these manually one by one.

Hello @hirschferkel,

Thank you so much for getting in touch.

Here’s an example of how you would add multiple power words manually: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#add-custom-power-words

As for the issue with the Content Analysis, please try following this guide and see if this would work for you: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

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

O.k. I understand that there is no way to bulk upload a list of power words.

Your German list contains many wrong words e.g. there is no “unterstutzend” or “verfuhrend” in Germany. You should not use this list.

There is no “Theme or Plugin” conflict. Thanks for not solving issues but pointing to any other (impossible) reason!

Only Elementor enabled (which is actually basic) https://pasteboard.co/2MVbAkJYyCdb.png

Hello @hirschferkel,

Those words are the translation of supportive and seductive, respectively.

Regarding the issue with the permalink, it’s a known issue in our plugin where the permalinks don’t get converted correctly for some umlauts when our plugin is enabled and it’s trickling also to this issue.

When we have an update that corrects this issue we’ll notify you of the same.

Thank you.

And what’s about missing Alt-Attribute and Headline?

The translations are all wrong regarding mutated vowels.

I’m quite sure now that missing alt-Attribute and headline deal with mutated vowels like “?,?,ü“, too (and exactly not with any incompatible plugin or theme issues). RankMath works well with all words which do not contain any mutated vowel.

If so, it breaks …

Hello @hirschferkel,

The ALT text and heading test should work fine. Please make sure that you are checking the content analysis in the Elementor editor, not in the default editor. Also, the heading and the image with ALT text should be a part of the page’s content. If you are using a template, then it will not be analyzed by the content analysis.

Looking forward to helping you.

It does not!

Every text editor, image alt-text and keyword works just fine with RankMath, but the keywords with mutated vowels do not! It is absolutely no conflict with theme or anything else.

Too bad that there is no help from you but turn it away …. did you have any look at the images in previous posts or at the page itself? I guess you did not even check it out…

I should be your interest to make RankMath work. In German it does not as it should.

By the way: I checked it with “Hello Elementor theme!”. Same issues there!

Hello @hirschferkel,

We tested this on our end but it seems to be working fine. See the screenshot here: https://i.rankmath.com/i/hoLyD1

If it seems we are still missing something, please share a screenshot or a video screencast from your end showing the issue.

We are looking forward to helping you.
