Fix Rank Math SEO Not Working in Divi 5 Builder

Written by Dan Mossop

In this guide we'll look at how to make Rank Math SEO available in the Divi 5 Visual Builder and confirm that it can recognize text in your Divi content. The Divi 5 Rank Math compatibility fix is provided by our free plugin – Rank Math's Divi 4 integration has not yet been updated to work in Divi 5. 

Access the Rank Math SEO Panel in the Divi 5 Visual Builder

This method uses a feature provided by our dedicated plugin to open Rank Math's SEO panel inside the Divi 5 Builder. You'll also check that the panel can find a focus keyword in content created with Divi.

Open the Rank Math SEO Panel

In the Divi 5 Builder, open the page where you want to work and click the "Rank Math SEO" button – the bar chart icon in the builder left toolbar. This will bring up the Divi 5 Rank Math panel enabled by our plugin.

Note that the panel uses Rank Math's own settings and functionality, so values you enter are available in the WordPress back-end too. If Rank Math release their own Divi 5 integration in the future, you'll be able to just remove our plugin and start using their integration with no loss of data.

Confirm Rank Math Recognizes Divi Content

To check that the Divi 5 Rank Math integration is working, use a phrase that appears in text on the page as your focus keyword. If the page doesn't yet have suitable text, add a short passage in a Divi Text module. In our example, the text includes "sustainable gardening," so that phrase is entered in the "Focus Keyword" field and submitted by pressing Enter.

Check the content analysis checklist for "Focus Keyword found in the content." This passing check confirms that Rank Math can read the text in the Divi Builder.

Our plugin includes a few tweak improve the accuracy of the checks,. For example, it makes Rank Math aware of the new Divi 5 Table of Contents Module so adding the table of contents module to your page will let the corresponding Rank Math table of contents check pass.

Get Yoast SEO Working with Divi 5 Too

If you're also working with sites that use Yoast SEO, we have a similar plugin to improve its compatibility with Divi 5. For more details, see Fix Yoast SEO Not Detecting Divi 5 Content.

Conclusion

With this free plugin, you can now work with Rank Math SEO directly in Divi 5. If you've got any questions about the integration or there are any other plugins you'd like to see made Divi 5 compatible, let us know in the comments or get in touch. Thanks!
