tags getting added automatically to my pages

Hello,

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

We don’t recommend using more than one plugin to generate your Schema because it can create conflicts. If you’re using any other plugins/page builder for your Schema then you can disable the Rank Math Schema module from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard > Modules.

If the issue still 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:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

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):

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Please take a backup of your site before making any changes since your site is live so you can restore it immediately.

Alternatively, you can create a staging site with the same issue so you can apply the code safely without breaking your site.

Here is a guide that could be really useful for you on how to create a staging site: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-staging-environment-for-a-wordpress-site/

Also, please try deactivating the Rank Math plugin temporarily and check if the issue persists. All of your data are saved in your database so there shouldn’t be any data loss upon doing so.

Let us know how this goes.

Thank you.

Hello,

Since the issue persists even without Rank Math, then this behavior could be added or forced by the WordPress function like my colleague mentioned above.

We suggest using the code on a staging site first so you can test it without breaking your live site.

Also, you can try modifying the code further to only apply to your pages. Here’s a helpful link you can check to achieve that on your site:

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
