Hello @shmanich

Thanks for your interest in the Yoast SEO plugin. Once the import is complete, please ensure to run the First time configuration wizard and especially the SEO data optimization.

I ran the configuration wizard, it didn’t help.

Installing the old version 19.14 helped me. I successfully imported data from Rank Math to Yoast 19.14. Therefore, I think that we are dealing with a bug in version 20.12.

Hey @shmanich,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I installed RankMath 1.0.120 on a brand-new LocalWP site, wrote a page with a focus keyphrase, an SEO title, and a meta description, as well as Facebook and Twitter titles/descriptions – and when I did the Yoast SEO 20.12 import from RankMath in our tools section, it was all migrated fine. So I’m not sure what was going wrong with your installation, but I’m happy to hear that the migration did work with 19.14 for you.

I’ll mark the topic as resolved for now, as we couldn’t reproduce the issue. If you do have steps to reproduce or more information, feel free to re-open the topic. Thank you and have a great day!

I repeated the migration from Rank Math to Yoast v20.13, even did the first setup, but the problem persists. Here is a video of the bug: https://disk.yandex.ru/i/VM7YHoJKZLQtLA

I understand the migration worked fine in a old version of the pugin (Yoast SEO v19.14). If you upgrade to the latest version, Yoast SEO v20.13, do you notice any anomalies?

I updated the plugin from version 19 to 20 without any problems, and then to version 21.
