    Hello,

    I migrated from Yoast to RankMath several months ago.
    I’ve been experiencing various issues since then, particularly regarding SEO and secondary sitemaps.
    I deleted all the Yoast-related tables from the database. However, when I tried to translate a post via WPML, I realized that some Yoast custom fields remained. (See image.)
    Could you tell me how to completely clean up the Yoast data?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    In this case, 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:

    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/

    We really look forward to helping you.
