Import settings is not working

    Hi there
    We are redesigning a client’s website, and they use Rank Math. I’m sorry to say we don’t really get on very well with it.

    The issue however is that after migrating it over to a subdomain, the deactivating it… and then turning it back on again, the settings for Title Tags have gone.

    The homepage is ‘default’, when compared to the live website.

    Can you help us to get it back back?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    If Rank Math’s settings were not imported to the subdomain, you can import the live site settings and export them to the subdomain. Please check this link for more information:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/import-export-settings/

    Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use the Easy Mode. Please follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode:

    If the issue still persists, 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.
    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):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    I doubt it is Advanced mode needed… when it appear just the odd page Title Tag or meta description has not migrated over.

    Hello,

    Could you please confirm if those titles/descriptions you have set are upon editing the page individually?

    If so, the Rank Math Import/Export process only exports your Rank Math settings (Default title/description). If you need to export the SEO metadata you have set for your pages individually (like title, description, focus keywords, etc..), please use WordPress’s inbuilt export from your WordPress dashboard > Tools > Export.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    It is the Title Tag and Meta Descriptions that failed to migrate – the most basic of SEO elements of the homepage.
