How to Update Rank Math Manually

Please note, in this tutorial – we’ll focus on the steps to manually update Rank Math PRO. That being said, you can follow the same steps for the free version of Rank Math as well as any plugin for that matter.

Updating Rank Math manually is extremely easy – let’s take a look at the manual update process step by step:

How to Update Rank Math PRO

1 Check Whether You Have the Latest Version of Rank Math Installed

The easiest way to check whether you’re on the latest, most up-to-date version of Rank Math is by heading to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Version Control (in your WordPress site’s admin area), and as shown below, this is what you’ll see if you are, in fact on the latest version:

Note: The above option only shows if you have WordPress 5.5 or above. If you are using an older WordPress version, you must delete Rank Math PRO and upload an updated version. Deleting the plugin will not remove any data as the data is stored in the DB, and installing an updated version will bring back the data.

Still not using Rank Math?

Setup takes less than 5 minutes including the import from your old SEO Plugin!
