Background of the issue:
After installing WPML SEO, I see Yoast SEO fields in the translation editor. I don't use Yoast anymore since a long time. Before installing WPML, all was fine.

Symptoms:

I see:
field-_yoast_wpseo_focuskw
field-_yoast_wpseo_metadesc
field-_yoast_wpseo_title
field-rank_math_permalink

Questions:
How to get rid of these Yoast SEO fields in the translation editor?
Should I disconnect WPML SEO?

Hello,

While you wait for my colleague to take over the ticket, let me try to help you with the issue quickly.

That means that when the Yoast SEO plugin was removed, not all data was removed.

You will need to follow the Yoast guide and remove all data that is left in your database as described here:

- hidden link

If you still need help with removal, you can try contacting Yoast SEO support for further help.

Then send to re-translate your page and that data should not appear anymore if not in your database.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do from the WPML side to help.

Regards,
Drazen
