Hello,
Thanks for reaching out.
We understand that after importing SEO data from RankMath to Yoast SEO, your meta descriptions were not imported.
We recommend that you reset the Indexables tables and migrations by using the Yoast Test Helper plugin to see whether this resolves the issue for you. Re-indexing your site might force the plugin to copy your imported metadata to the new tables.
1. Go to Tools → Yoast Test → Yoast SEO → Reset indexables tables & migrations options to reset it.
2. Rerun the indexables analysis from the Yoast SEO → Tools → SEO Data → Start processing and speed up your site now option.
After the process completes, please verify the meta-information is now visible on the page source.

by the way, all of the posts have meta description and title after migration
but terms(category and tag) have a null value
rank math saves its data on the wp_termmeta table.
Is there any SQL query to copy category and tag data from wp_termmeta to yoast indexable table?

Could you help me?
I manually copy all term data from wp_termmeta to wp_yoast_indexble
UPDATE wp_yoast_indexable SET primary_focus_keyword = '$keyword', canonical = '$canonical', title ='$title', description = '$description' WHERE id = '$update_id
after that, on the source page of a category, the meta description is updated as well. but the editing page description and title filed is empty!!!!
I think yoast don’t read wp_yoast_indexable after I update it by SQL Query
Hi @mohammad983,
Sorry to hear this isn’t working for your site.
Depending on what changes you’ve made to the database, it may be best to restore the database from a backup before reindexing your site using Yoast or testing this on a test site before running it on a production site.
For sites with more than 10,000 posts, we’d advise using the WP CLI command to do the indexation on the server instead of going to SEO > Tools. You can read more about this here: WP CLI – Reindex Indexables command
Does the error still appear?
