Hello! I just installed RankMath and am excited to use it! I deactivated my Yoast SEO and tried to import the data for analytics, but I keep getting error messages. I tried manually importing the data and am still getting an error message. I chatted with your troubleshooting bot and asked what plugins may cause issues when importing, but I don’t have the plugins listed (other than my deactivated Yoast SEO). Any suggestions as to how I can import the data? Thanks!

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing while trying to import your Yoast SEO data into Rank Math. It sounds frustrating, and we appreciate you reaching out for help.
If you are encountering error messages during the import process, here are a few steps you can take:
-
Ensure Rank Math is Updated: Make sure you are using the latest version of Rank Math. Older versions may have bugs that have been resolved in updates.
-
Check for Conflicting Plugins: While you mentioned that you only have the deactivated Yoast SEO plugin, sometimes other plugins can also cause conflicts. You can check for any other plugins that might be installed but not active, as they could still interfere with the import process.
-
Use the Import & Export Feature: If you missed importing data during the Setup Wizard, you can always use the Import & Export feature. Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export and select the data you want to import from Yoast SEO. Make sure to confirm the import when prompted.
-
Recheck Your Settings: Sometimes, settings in your WordPress installation or server configuration can affect the import process. Ensure that your server meets the Rank Math plugin requirements and that there are no restrictions on file imports.
-
Error Logs: If possible, check your server’s error logs for any specific messages related to the import process. This might give you more insight into what is going wrong.
