    Hi RM, Im loving RM, as a basic UI experience, but I am tearing my hair out with compatability issue

    I use Avada theme, custom post types and advanced custom fields. I seem to have a few incompatability issues between RM and my metioned configuration. Let me demo by example
    – On pages that have images, RM is flagging “You are not using rich media like images or videos” as an issue, so I guess it is not “seeing” these images
    – On pages taht I render keywords stored in ACF fields, renderred in H2 tags, I get the no h2 error message – again, RM is not seeing ACF
    – I see similar issue when I put in some text in other inputs other than the standard post input,

    I have the ACF module switched on. Am I doing something wrong, or is this expected behaviour? Is there a recommended way of using CPT, ACF, etc with RM?

    TIA, James

    Hello,

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

    I believe that your theme comes packaged with the Fusion page builder which is not fully compatible with Rank Math. If you are using this to create your frontend content, then I can suggest that you get in touch with the guys from Avada and seek their help in adding our content analysis script to your page:

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Michael
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I can ask a Avada to do that, but if the help article had a little more detail, I could do it myself. Are all those steps in the same js file?

    Hi,

    I am sorry but you will need decent knowledge of how your theme works to make it works.

    Although some of the content elements added using Fusion builder might not be seen by Rank Math – most of them should be.

    Are you using the ACF plugin? If so, you can enable the ACF module at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard.

    Then, the ACF should be readable by Rank Math.

    With that said, the score is there only for your reference anyway and doesn’t affect your actual rankings. Treat it only as a to-do list, nothing more. Don’t try to live by it and don’t follow the tests religiously. Even though some of the elements might not be readable by Rank Math – they will be seen by Google since they only see your processed page in the front end while Rank Math can see what is added in the backend and that is not always clearly understandable using code.

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

    Hi Todd
    Thanks for your reply, but I’m not sure if it helps me
    – is the point of your first paragarph that without intimate dev knowledge of Avada/Fusion, the changes are not possible OR that any changes will get overwritten with updates?
    – your second paragraph, maybe 50% of them are being seen
    – yes, using ACF and its switeched and not readable by RM – which is what prompted me to open a support ticket
    – I agree with your “reference” and “to do” point, and what Google sees is what actually what matters. But it seems to suggest that RM is of no more value than a post-it note, in my installation – surely, we can do derive more value from it with Avada. I feel like I’m missing out!
    Clearly, if I have to go the Avada route to get it fixed, so be it. But I expect that’ll take time, and I’d just love to get this running.
    Another question – I read something, somewhere (maybe in your forum) – if I install a stand alone version (as opposed to bundled with Avada) version of ACF, will that work with RM?

    Hi James,

    Thanks for the follow up.

    Installing the standalone ACF version of the plugin should be able to work seamlessly with Rank Math.

    In regards to your initial question, yes the code could be in the same file but you will need to customize the logic to fetch the data from fusion and pass it to the content analysis using your own custom callbacks hooked to:

    wp.hooks.addFilter( 'rank_math_title', 'plugin-name', callback_function_to_fetch_title ) // This will hook into title analysis data.
wp.hooks.addFilter( 'rank_math_content', 'plugin-name', callback_function_to_fetch_content ) // This will hook into content analysis data.

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.
