 * Hi,
 * I have uninstalled Yoast SEO and I am rebuilding a site entirely on a staging
   platform. We may not re-install Yoast as the site could end up behind a firewall
   and set to 100% private.
 * But I am still seeing the PRIMARY CATEGORY radio buttons in the category meta
   window … how can I remove these?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fprimary-category-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * We deactivated all Yoast SEO plugins on our test site and the primary category
   option doesn’t show up when selecting various categories in a post or page. It’s
   possible that another plugin or your theme might be causing this and not Yoast
   SEO as it has already been deactivated.
 * You can try to perform a conflict check and see which is causing this — [https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts)
