Problem: The client removed the WPML plugin and needs to inform Google that the site's SEO structure has reverted to the original without language URLs. Solution: If you're experiencing issues after removing the WPML plugin and need to restore your original SEO structure, we recommend you: 1. Implement 301 Redirects from the old language-specific URLs (e.g.,
/el/
) to the new URLs without language identifiers. This will guide both visitors and search engines to the correct pages. 2. Update your sitemap to only include the new URLs without language identifiers. 3. Use Google Search Console to submit the updated sitemap. This action will notify Google of the changes and encourage the re-crawling and indexing of the new URLs.
By taking these steps, you'll let search engines know that your site's structure has changed and the original SEO settings are now in place.
If this solution doesn't look relevant or you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket.
