Issue with Yoast ToC Block Conversions

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay and for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

The TOC converter tool only converts the native Table of Contents from Yoast/AIOSEO:

However, we would like to investigate this first on your staging site and check for a workaround for them to be converted automatically.

Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your staging 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:

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):

We really look forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

We have already forwarded this to our development team for further investigation. We’ll get back to you shortly for an update or if we have a workaround as well.

We would really appreciate your kind patience regarding this matter.

Meanwhile, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you have other questions to assist you further.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

We have heard back from our development team.

In our Yoast migrator code file: seo-by-rank-math\includes\modules\database-tools\class-yoast-blocks.php, the migratory looks for the block $blocks['yoast-seo/table-of-contents'] and replaces its content with our TOC block format.

Since you have wrapped the Yoast ToC block with the Accordion (Bespoke) block ($blocks['genesis-custom-blocks/accordion-bespoke']), our plugin will surely not be able to convert the block.

We then tried manually tweaking the code, to find $blocks['genesis-custom-blocks/accordion-bespoke'] instead of $blocks['yoast-seo/table-of-contents'] but it still won’t work because of the difference of the format.

Unfortunately, this is something our developers can’t put more time into as this situation doesn’t happen often.

We would suggest converting the Yoast ToC block to a native block first before running the block conversion in Rank Math.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

Hello,

Sure, we completely understand that this would be very time-consuming to switch all the posts to the Rank Math TOC block.

We appreciate your interest in our plugin.

Thank you.

Hello,

This kind of custom tweaking falls out of the scope of our support. We really appreciate your interest in our plugin, but we won’t be able to convert all the blocks from you even if you upgrade to PRO.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
