Old Meta Titles & Descriptions Deleted After Installing RankMath

#1108480
  • Hello Support Team,

    After installing RankMath on my WordPress website, all my previously set Meta Titles and Meta Descriptions were removed and replaced with RankMath’s default settings. My website has a large number of pages, so it’s not possible for me to manually re-enter the metadata for each page.

    Could you please guide me on how I can recover my old Meta Titles and Meta Descriptions and make sure they are restored automatically for all pages? Also, I want to ensure that when I create new pages in the future, my old data format continues without being overwritten.

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your Meta Titles and Descriptions after installing Rank Math. Unfortunately, once the metadata is overwritten by Rank Math’s default settings, it cannot be automatically restored unless you have a backup of your previous settings.

    To prevent this from happening in the future, we recommend the following steps:

    1. Backup Your Settings: Before making any changes in Rank Math, always back up your existing settings. You can do this by using the import/export feature in Rank Math. This way, if anything goes wrong, you can easily restore your previous settings. You can find more information on how to do this here.

    2. Use Bulk Editing: If you have a large number of pages, consider using the bulk editing feature in Rank Math to update your Meta Titles and Descriptions at scale. This can save you a significant amount of time. You can learn more about bulk editing here.

    3. Professional Setup Service: If you want to ensure that your plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards, we recommend our professional setup service. This service requires a PRO subscription and can help you set everything up correctly from the start. You can sign up for this service here.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your request.

    While we completely understand your preference for direct support via calls, our current support model is primarily delivered through forums and emails.

    However, to simplify the troubleshooting process, we do encourage you to share screencast videos or screenshots of the issues you’re facing.

    Rank Math will not delete any data automatically. It seems you mean your site is now showing metadata from Rank Math.

    In case you were using a support SEO plugin formerly for the metadata, you can import all your SEO data using the Rank Math Import & Export Settings:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/import-export-settings/

    Rank Math also has the option to edit/add metadata in bulk; however, you will need the PRO version for that: https://rankmath.com/kb/editing-seo-meta-at-scale/

    We hope that helps, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Thank you.
