Hi, I have an answer from the second-tier support. Please add the code below to the functions.php of your theme: function test_remove_homefilter() { if ( defined( 'REST_REQUEST' ) && REST_REQUEST && isset( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ) { $request_uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; if ( strpos( $request_uri, 'submitUrl' ) !== false || strpos( $request_uri, 'allSubmissions' ) !== false ) { global $wp_filter; if ( isset( $wp_filter['home_url']->callbacks[-10] ) ) { foreach ( $wp_filter['home_url']->callbacks[-10] as $key => $value ) { if ( str_contains( $key, 'home_url_filter' ) ) { remove_filter( 'home_url', $key, -10 ); } } } } } } add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'test_remove_homefilter' ); We tested that in the dummy website below and it worked: hidden link Thanks. |

Yes, this works with Bing Webmaster Tools, so I guess it will also work with Index now, as BWT is an extended version. However, there is still a problem with Rank Math Pro Instant Indexing. They also use Index now, but differently. So I guess a similar concept is needed for Rank Math. |

Hi for that I will need you to tell me how to setup RankMath to have the Bing connection to be able to replicate the issue. I will report then to the compatibility team and then they can check how RankMath implemented the feature. Thanks. |

Instand Indexing is one of core functions of Rank Math. There is no need to setup anything there. Once you install Rank Math, it is there to use. They use a separate key, so you do not need to provide any key from Bing. |

Hi Thanks. The Rank Math plugin is installed on the sandbox installation below: hidden link I went to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Dashboard and found the "Instant Indexing" section and clicked the setting button there and I redirected to this page: hidden link There is an option that it is possible to add manual URLs and in the History section it shows the number of the HTTP response. I tested that and it is ok and is showing 200. The directory option is also enabled in WPML. So I am not sure how to replicate the issue as you described there. Thanks. |

Hi, It seems the code we suggested for a workaround also works for the RankMath SEO version. We published an erratum for that: https://wpml.org/errata/bing-url-indexing-fails-when-using-directory-for-default-language-with-wpml/ |

I know why you cannot fully replicate the issue. Apart from the main Rank Math Pro plugin I also use and additional plugin caled Instant Indexing for Google also by Rank Math. https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-indexing-api/ This plugin is only for google, but it integrates with Rank Math Instat Indexing and changes the layout of this section. Now, when I select two posts and from bulk actions I select to update in Google, it will open a modified Rank Math Instant Indexing page, where it presents me with a list of all links sent to google. Then all I need to do, is to select Index Now at the bottom and send the same links to Bing. And this is the part that does not work. It means that the lists of links are processed differently when sent to bing. I have installed the plugin on your sandbox wordpress. I haven't configured google indexing, as it is working properly anyway. And you do not need too worry about bulk actions either. So now all you need to test it is to go to Rank Math / Instant Indexing. Just like I did in the screenshot. In that section you will find a text area where you can put a list of links or just one link. If you use a second language link it will not work. But first language links do work. |

Hi, Thank you for the info. Just FYI, we do not have any integration with " I will report this to the compatibility team but I can not give a guarantee for a fix. Thank you for your understanding. |
