Yoast SEO migration issues

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with migrating your Yoast SEO data to Rank Math. If the migration process is stuck at 0% imported, it could be due to various reasons such as compatibility issues or technical glitches.

To troubleshoot this issue, I recommend the following steps:

1. Deactivate Yoast SEO Plugin: Make sure you have deactivated the Yoast SEO plugin before starting the migration process. You can do this during the Rank Math Setup Wizard as shown in the image below:

2. Import Data from Yoast SEO: After deactivating Yoast SEO, proceed with importing data from Yoast SEO to Rank Math by clicking the Start Import button in the Setup Wizard. Wait for the process to complete, and ensure it reaches 100% as shown in the image below:

If you encounter any errors during the Setup Wizard, you can also import your Yoast settings using the Import & Export feature mentioned in our knowledge base article here.

If the issue persists, please provide more details or screenshots of the error messages so that we can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we’ll do our best to help you resolve it.
