Yoast meta and title not imported in classic editor?

    I am a long-time user of WordPress and have Blogposts in both classic editor as well as the new Gutenberg editor. I was looking forward to switching from Yoast to Rank Math. So I tried it on my staging site first. The transfer went seamlessly.

    However, upon checking the posts in the classic editor, the meta title and meta description are missing. Here is a screenshot:

    Fortunately, upon checking the source code, it does contain meta description are title.

    Why did that happen? Now I doubt whether all the Yoast data has been correctly imported and won’t affect my SEO and ranking.

    Sorry for the issue you are facing.

    Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.

    Please let us know if you find the culprit.

    Hi,
    It is the official Classic Editor plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/
    When I deactivate it, I see meta title and meta description in the Editor.

    However, when I activate the plugin with these options, the title and description are missing.

    Please fix.

    Hello,

    It cannot be that because it works great with the Classic Editor:

    Please keep Rank Math and the Classic Editor enabled while doing troubleshooting.

    Hi,
    Ok, so I see the problem here. In the video, you just tested if it’s working or not. The thing is sure working. My concern is more about the Yoast Meta and title not getting imported or showing up when I edit the post through the classic editor. See the original post. It has screenshots.

    Hello,

    Yes, that’s why we recommended running the troubleshooting test following this tutorial:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    The screenshot shows a JS error on your end and that might be coming either from your theme or one of the plugins.

    Please record a video screencast of the process and add that in the sensitive data section. You can use a tool like Loom.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Ok so I tried the tutorial here tutorial:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    I get this message when I activate the Rank Math plugin when Troubleshooting mode is on via Site Health:

    When enabling the plugin, seo-by-rank-math, a site failure occurred. Because of this the change was automatically reverted.

    Hello,

    In that case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
