I have a warning message showing up on my plugins that I want to fix that says “A filter to remove the Rank Math data from the database is present”. How do I remove this filter?

I think it is showing up because I replaced All-in-One SEO with Rankmath. I do not want this warning showing up on my plugins page. I went through the theme files to delete it in the php code but it is not in the functions.php file and there is no rank-math.php file

How do I find this php and remove it?

Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the warning message related to the Rank Math data filter on your Plugins page. Thank you for providing the screenshots.

To remove the filter causing the warning message, you can follow these steps:

2. Add the Code to Remove the Filter:
  - Once you have created the rank-math.php file, add the following code snippet to it:
```
/**
 * Filter to remove Rank Math data from the database
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math_clear_data_on_uninstall', '__return_false' );
```
3. Save Changes:
  - After adding the code, save the rank-math.php file.
By following these steps, you should be able to remove the filter causing the warning message on your Plugins page. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please let us know.

Hello,

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

Please try clearing Rank Math’s transients from WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools: https://rankmath.com/kb/rank-math-status-and-tools/#rank-math-transients

If the issue persists, then we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

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:
