Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We’re sorry to hear that you’re facing an issue with the PHP SimpleXML Extension. This is a common requirement for many WordPress plugins, including Rank Math.
To resolve this issue, you will need to enable the SimpleXML extension in your PHP configuration. If you have access to your server, you can do this by editing your php.ini file and uncommenting the line ;extension=php_simplexml.dll by removing the semicolon at the beginning of the line.
If you are not comfortable making these changes yourself, we recommend reaching out to your hosting provider’s support team. They should be able to assist you in enabling the SimpleXML extension on your server.
Once the extension is enabled, you should be able to proceed with the Rank Math installation without any issues.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to let us know.
