Rank Math vs. Yoast Seo WPML Bug

    Hello,

    I am using the WPML Plugin and Yoast SEO Plugin. I tried to switch to Rank Math but then I found out it does not work together with WPML. So I switched back to Yoast SEO. Now I have the Problem of seeing 2 Google Titles and Description when I am using WPML translator. I think it is a failure because Rank Math imported the Yoast SEO Data. I deleted Rank Math from the site and now there are these 2 title and descriptions.

    BEst regards

    Hello,

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

    Just to be sure, did you clean the cache? Could you share in the Sensitive Data section the affected URL so we can check it?

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Yes, I cleared the cache. Check it out.

    Hello,

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

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have checked but I only see one title and one description. Could you share some URLs where you see that problem?

    Looking forward to help you.

    The custom field of rank math are still there. https://ibb.co/vk7B9b5

    Hello,

    In the post you sent us I only see the description and OpenGraph description added by your current SEO plugin.

    Looking at your screenshot, I see you have those fields in WPML but they being there doesn’t mean Rank Math description and title are displayed on the website. When you uninstall Rank Math, your settings are not removed from the database because maybe you return and want to continue using it.

    So, WPML is finding those settings and it is offering you to translate them, but even if you translate them, they won’t be used on your website since you don’t have the Rank Math plugin installed and enabled so you don’t need to worry.

    If you want to delete even that data, you can add the following filter to your theme’s functions.php file and then uninstall and delete the plugin:

    Please stay advised that once deleted, this action is irreversible and there is no way (other than a previous backup) to bring the Rank Math’s data back.

    Looking forward to help you.

    Thank you, it worked!
