I just tried to install this plugin on 2 seperate websites, and on both occasions I get this timeout on step 2, and I do have a GSC and GA account, which are also linked together and to my ahrefs account:

cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 5000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received.

Every tyme, when I try to connect WP to Ahrefs, I get:

Please try again laterDismiss this notice.

Ahrefs disconnected.

Please insert your Ahrefs token on the settings page again.

Hello,

You did not change the AHREFS_SEO_RELEASE constant value back to production in version 0.10.3. Was this intentional, or did it get overlooked?

define( 'AHREFS_SEO_VERSION', '0.10.3' );
define( 'AHREFS_SEO_RELEASE', 'development' );

I would have submitted a PR myself, but I couldn’t find a public GitHub repository.

Best regards,
George

Opening the Target Keywords in order to choose another one or confirmation shows the error message:

“Oops, there was an error loading the keywords list. Please try again.”

Anyone else experiences this too?

You’re correctly only loading the scripts on your own admin pages, but you’re registering datatables globally on all admin pages. This is leading to a plugin conflict with my AAA Option Optimizer plugin, which also uses datatables.

The fix is very simple. Change this in the file class-ahrefs-seo-view.php:

$this->register_scripts();

if ( $screen instanceof \WP_Screen && in_array( $screen->id, $this->admin_screens, true ) ) {
do_action( 'ahrefs_seo_process_data_' . $screen->id );
$this->add_scripts();
}

so that register_scripts is called inside the if statement, and you’re done. I couldn’t find a GitHub for your plugin otherwise I’d have done a pull request ??

Hi,

We need help with step 2 of the installation. It shows the below error:

cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks

Confused why we have to have GA to use this plugin, would love to just use GSC and ahrefs login for this.

Hi, i just try Ahrefs SEO and when i like to untick pages or try to say 4 month content will be out dated, it never save the changes.

Any idea why, running the latest wordpress.

Installing Ahrefs plugin adds a column inside WP admin post and page listing, showing the organic traffic of each page.

I see visits properly at Google Analytics and Search Console, but all pages and posts show “0 /month” at our WordPress.

Any idea what could be the cause of this?

Hi,

I’m trying to set up the plugin but when I try to connect my google accounts, I keep getting this error:

cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

I’ve been enjoying this plugin – it’s given great insight to what needs fixing. However, I’m struggling with the following issue.

I reviewed all the suggested improvements to a page. This includes adding a range of keywords. All of the suggested updates were performed.

However, when I re-run the audit, the same issues persist? I am getting the same recommendations and the page status is still saying ‘needs improvement’ event though the issues have been addressed.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

I have on my website one plugin for SEO (RankMath) I have a subscribe with Ahrefs too and offer me to use their plugin too. I had bad experiences before.

My question: If I have rank math and I use this SEO Ahrefs plugin too can work or not or I should remove rankmath and install otherones.

Please help me to understand

Hi there, hope to be able to find some help here.

ahrefs audit is indicating some URLs entries in the sitemap have a non-canonical element that points to a different URL.

This issue is flagged by ahrefs audit as “ Non-canonical page in sitemap”. Sitemap: https://myspanishconnect.com/sitemap_index.xml.

The problem is that I can’t find those URLs in anywhere in the sitemap. Where is ahrefs reading this URLs from?

Example of URL with the issue according to the audit report
https://myspanishconnect.com/stories/spanish-stories-for-beginners-ep7/
URL available in the sitemap:
https://myspanishconnect.com/stories/spanish-stories-for-beginners-ep7

Please note the only difference between URLs is in the slash at the end. Also note the site’s permalink structure is without the slash at the end.
Further, all URLs flagged by the ahrefs report belong to the same custom post type ‘/stories/’, created with CPT plugin. See https://myspanishconnect.com/stories-sitemap.xml)
The sitemap is managed by rank math.
Can anyone shed some light on whether this is a real issue we should look at? And if it is any suggestions on what to check how to tackle?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I have a quick question about multisite installation: network activation or should we activate this plugin in each subsite?
Thanks a lot!

Why is your pagination and filters so bad. Please fix it.

Hi – First off the new edition of the Ahref SEO plugin is super helpful.

However, right now only admins have access to the report.

How can I easily share the plugin with my Editor (user role) without giving them admin access?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m just looking for some additional info before making a final decision on using this plugin. Does the plugin load resources only in the backend of WordPress or in the frontend as well? Will it add anything to pageload speed/efficiency of my website/pages?

Thank you!
Adam

Is it possible to analyze tag archive pages? Category pages are analyzed, but tags are not.

When I try to change target keywords, plugin shows only “Oops, there was an error while loading the keywords list. Please try again.”

Hi, I am a paying AHrefs customer.

Completed the first 2 steps no problem but am getting this error on 3rd step:

Scope of audit
There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.

Tried it twice, no success?

My site has posts which fall under multiple categories. I use rel canonical to specify the correct canonical url. I also indicate the primary category with Yoast SEO. AHREFS SEO plugin is choosing to analyze the wrong URL for some posts. Instead of mysite.com/canonical-cateogory/post-name, it is analyzing mysite.com/secondary-category/post-name.

It appears that the plugin ignores tag pages and does not include them in the audit. I have a site where some tags actually rank well and would like to include them in the analysis. The plugin does audit Categories, but I do not see any of the Tag pages in the analysis.

Is there an option within ahref seo to disable attachment pages?

Or an alternative solution?

Thanks in advance.

The plugin creates multiple (9?) instances of the WP Cron jobs and causes massive server CPU load. All instances launching at the same time.

If the plugin generated job(s) is large, it needs to be split over long period of time, or otherwise throttled to prevent exceeding CPU load thresholds, which would render the whole site down.

Hi Support,

Quick report that this plugin is unable to run when “Google Listings and Ads” is also activated on the site.

Hope this helps!

Please add a primary key to ahrefs_seo_content db table for easier usage with managed databases

Dear Support,

We installed your plugin, configured the settings and started ‘analysing’ our pages.

We find, however, that the plugin is ‘stuck’ analysing our website for the past week.

Is there a way how we can either reset the plugin, restart the analysis or ‘unstuck’ the process?

What could cause your plugin to freeze?

Many thanks for your advice.

Hello,
here is Peer from germany. Because of data protection rules I dont use Google Analytics anymore, but I use Search Console. Is it possible to use the plugin only with a Google Search Console Account?
