    Hi

    I have just tried to import yoast’s data to rankmath after installing rankmath.

    It seems to import it, but it seems all the data is missing that I enterd previously before i changed to rankmath.

    Can I get some help with this, please?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please note that only the data selected in the import settings is imported.

    Could you let us know exactly what data is missing. You can also share a screencast, to help us understand, using https://www.loom.com

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi

    I thought I was importing all yoast data.

    Here is a link to a screenshot of settings what I am importing:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/kylmirhz2k13g7q/rankmath%20import%20yoast.jpg?dl=0

    Screenshot of what all my products and pages look like – that is, they have no seo scores

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/nhjhbivummytzek/page%20seo%20example.jpg?dl=0

    Screenshot showing SEO for a page. As you can see, this (and others) do not have a focus keyphrase, the meta description is not the one i wrote on yoast. I just don’t think the data has come though at all.

    I hope you can help!

    IF you’d like me to add you as admin so you can go in to have a look, let me know a suitable email address and I’ll add as admin.

    Thanks

    Hi Becky,

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    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:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    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):
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    There is a bug with the latest version of Rank Math where the import option is not working.

    We rolled back to 1.0.45 and did the import.

    Then, we upgraded back to 1.0.46 and everything’s working fine now.

    Please check and let us know if you still see any issues.

    Hiya

    THank you very much

    Can i ask – why, sine the SEO meta is now in there, why the scores fdo not show up correctly under dashboard>products?

    I also notice that SEO score for some of the pages and posts is very low until I go into the page or post. It suddenly increases. Then, when I click update and go back to dashboard>posts (or pages) it then shows the higher score.

    It’s not so much work to go in fix the posts and pages, but with over 400 products, editing each one all over again individually will take a looong time! Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    The scores are calculated running a Javascript file when you enter in the post, that is why to see the score updated to the right number you need to enter on it.

    I am sorry about it, but it is the only way to get the right score since we need to run those Javascript files on each post/product/page to read the content and analyze it in detail.

    Looking forward to help you.

    Oh golly OK I think the same thing happened with yoast. My wp backend is running sooooo slow. It’s going to take hours and hours! Not that that is your fault.

    Hopefully somehow one day someone figure out how to avoid having to do this manually.

    Thanks all the same.
