    Hi Team,

    Initially I had Yoast SEO, later I migrated to Rank Math. Today I was analyzing the tables and observed that, Rank math has no record of Primary Category in backend table for older and newer post which is almost 211 posts in total out of 420+ posts.

    I am indicating Primary category as, if a post have multiple category then 1 of the category is primary, which is also part of my permalink.

    So can you please suggest a way around to maintain the table “wpr5_postmeta” for “rank_math_primary_category”, manually this is very tough.

    The data in table getting populated when I am making some changes in tag or category and updating it. I have done for almost 50 posts till now manually.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    When migrating to Rank Math from Yoast, you should be able to migrate all the meta data including the primary category. Could you please confirm if you have migrated the data from Yoast completely?

    You can try importing the data once again in Rank Math > Status & Tools > Import & Export, scroll down to “Other Plugins” and choose “Import post meta” under Yoast tab:
    import

    Looking forward to helping you with this one.

    Actually I was running with issue that my post were not appearing correctly in google search, somehow I came to know that the category is not getting stored correctly in Rank Math, I think this could be one of the reason of the issue.

    I migrated to Rank Match almost 1.1/2 year back, but the issue was also observed in latest posts. Anyway I have done this manually, but I hope this issue doesnot persists.
