    Rank Math free

    Here’s my question: When I installed Rank Math in 2019, I deactivated Yoast SEO. Now, I don’t remember if I imported the Yoast data to Rank Math. If I do it again now, will I mess up my site?

    I am using Rank Math SEO plugin on two of my websites (vidyasury.com and yourmedguide.com) since August 2019

    I want to delete inactive plugins and I am wondering whether to just delete Yoast or import and delete.
    Awaiting your response,

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing. If you deactivated Yoast SEO and are unsure whether you imported the data to Rank Math, you can safely attempt to import the data again. Rank Math has a built-in feature that allows you to import settings from other SEO plugins without causing any issues to your site.

    When you go through the import process, it will not overwrite existing settings unless you specifically choose to do so. Therefore, you can proceed with the import, and if everything looks good afterward, you can then delete the inactive Yoast plugin.

    To import the data, navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export → Other Plugins and follow the prompts to start the import process.

    Hello,

    Thank you so much for getting in touch.

    If you already have new settings done in your Rank Math, then importing data from Yoast now will indeed make some changes from the new configuration you set on Rank Math although it will not significantly affect your site’s ranking assuming the data from Yoast is also optimized for your site already.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
