AIOSEO fields not deleted after migration

    Rank Math free

    Hello,

    I decided to migrate from AIOSEO to RankMath and I used your automatic importation process.
    Now, everytime I open my translation page (WPML) I can still see the fields:
    – field-_aioseo_keywords
    – field-_aioseo_title
    – field-_aioseo_description

    I tried to reinstall aioseo and reactivate the option for full deletion. It seems there’s no table left on my database or leftover on wpml strings but for some reason I keep seeing those fields whenever I open the side by side view of the translation fields for any of my pages.
    Is there any way I can delete those leftovers?
    Thank you in advance

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

    Those custom fields must be saved in your database’s postmeta table as the meta keys. You can leave them as they will not cause any issues since the plugin is no longer active. If you want to delete them, you can clean the data from WP Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Status & Tools > Import & Export > Other Plugins > AIO SEO > Clean.

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