At least one paragraph is long

Hello @eddievet,

Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Please share the name of the page builder that you have used for the affected posts.

For the ContentAI test: Using the ContentAI provides you with more insights and recommendations that will help you optimize your content for the keyword that you want to rank for. That’s why we have added the test.

Having said that, the SEO score is only for your reference and it doesn’t affect your site’s SEO performance. So you can ignore the contentAI test if you don’t want to use it on a post. You can also disable the ContentAI test by adding this filter to your site: https://rankmath.com/kb/disable-seo-content-tests/#content-ai-test

And here’s a guide on how to apply the filter to your site:

We really look forward to helping you.

I am having this same error.

Using Elementor as builder, on this page as an example https://www.sirenwatcher.com/bitcoin-research/.

There are no paragraphs over 120 words.

There is no hidden text on the page. Any html such as the nav and toc both do not go over 120 words and when they are removed the error is still there.

Hello @sirenwatcher,

Rank Math is fully compatible with Elementor and should be able to detect the correct word count for the paragraphs. I also checked on my end and it is able to recognize the correct length for the paragraphs.

Upon inspecting the content of your page, I was able to check that you are adding the content by using the shortcodes in Elementor’s shortcode widget. That could be the reason for the incorrect count based on how the shortcode is being rendered in the editor. https://i.rankmath.com/WYWNF1

You can also check for a plugin conflict to see if the issue is being caused due to the conflict with any other plugin on your site.

Please follow this troubleshooting guide:

Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c

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

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

Hi there

Sorry for the late response!

Yes, you are right! After an investigation on few posts noticed that those posts created with Classic Editor cause the issue.
Note that i have removed the classic editor long ago but somehow it’s still affecting those posts. I have tried to find any connection of the classic editor with the current theme but i haven’t found one.

Can you please tell how to completely remove it (if that is the case) or how to make posts not dependent on Classic Editor?

Thanks

Hello @eddievet,

Could you confirm if you’re also using Elementor or any other page builder?

We would suggest performing the plugin/theme conflict test (if not performed already) that we suggested in our previous reply to see if the issue is caused by any existing plugin/theme.

Please let us know how that goes.

Hi there

I followed the steps as per your recommandation and noticed this error right from the start.

Some files are not writable by WordPress:

xmlrpc.php
wp-blog-header.php
readme.html
wp-signup.php
index.php
wp-cron.php
wp-config-sample.php
wp-login.php
wp-settings.php
license.txt
wp-mail.php
wp-links-opml.php
wp-load.php
wp-includes/class-wp-user-query.php
wp-includes/l10n.php
wp-includes/date.php
wp-includes/php-compat/readonly.php
wp-includes/class-wp-oembed.php
wp-includes/images/w-logo-blue-white-bg.png
wp-includes/images/blank.gif

I don’t think that this keeps classic editor still enabled. (like i said on the previous message. Not all posts are affected by the classic editor)
What do you think?

Hello @eddievet,

You will have to remove the content that you had added in the Classic Editor and add it back using Elementor (or the builder/editor you are using for the post) on the affected posts.

If there are a lot of the affected posts then you can simply ignore the test as it is only for your reference and will not affect the SEO performance of your posts.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
