Frequently Asked Questions

Will this affect my SEO rankings?
If Rank Math was your SEO plugin, you’ll lose SEO settings, meta descriptions, and redirects. Install another SEO plugin first or export your data before running.

Can I undo this?
Only by restoring from backup. The script creates an automatic backup, which you can use to restore your database.

Do I need to uninstall Rank Math first?
It’s recommended to deactivate and uninstall through WordPress first, then run this script to clean up leftover data.

Will this delete my posts or pages?
No. It only removes Rank Math-specific data (SEO settings, metadata). Your actual content is safe.

Is this safe for beginners?
Yes. The script has built-in safety features including preview mode and automatic backup. Just follow the Quick Start Guide.

What if something goes wrong?
Restore from the automatic backup created by the script, or use your own backup if you created one beforehand.
