Remove editors rating frontend

Hello @alriksson

Thank you for contacting the support.

You can disable it by using the following filter:
https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#disable-review-display

All the filters until 8th are related to it.

Hope that helps.

Thanks will have a look.

Why does not rankmath delete all database rows and tables it creates when deleting plugin? You should have an option for full and clean delete for users that dont want to save data from rankmath.

Is it secure to delete your tables manually? Double checking with you.

Hello @alriksson

It is risky to provide an option to let anyone delete the SEO data as that is not recoverable.

But it could be achieved easily by adding the following filter to the theme’s functions.php and then uninstalling the plugin:
add_filter( 'rank_math_clear_data_on_uninstall', '__return_true' );

All the data will be completely removed.

Hope that helps. Thank you.

Ok that’s true but your Knowledgebase should include information which tables that should be deleted from the MYSQL.

So which can I safely delete?

And additionally, to your php snippet, you could have given this through permissions in role manager. So only admins have access and an x2 opt-in like “write DELETE to delete.” So there are no mistakes etc.

Hello @alriksson

All the tables which contain rm as the prefix are related to the Rank Math plugin.

Sure, we will see how we can provide an option in the plugin settings. But most of the times, users do not want to mess with the Rank Math’s tables data unless they have ported out to a different plugin.

A filter should do the needful for you. Please let us know if that didn’t help.

Thank you.

Sure just wanted to make sure and confirm with you guys.

Yes and if they do you should apply best practice to remove the old data if users want to. Otherwise, it will start to bloat the database with orphan tables and rows.

Hello @alriksson

Sure, we will see what we can do about it.

Appreciate your understanding.

Thank you <3

Thanks to consider my feature requests.

@rankmath thanks would appreciate to be able to remove all and keep the database neat and clean.

Hello @alriksson

We are looking into it and will fix it in one of the upcoming updates.

Sorry for the trouble.

@rankmath But I want it now and do not have rankmath installed, can you give me a query that would remove everything in the database related to rankmath?

Since it’s everywhere in many tables. So you mean I have to wait for this update and install rankmath and then select that setting and then delete rankmath?

Hello @alriksson

After uninstalling, only a couple of tables should be in the starting with wp_rank_math. You can safely delete them all after taking a backup of your DB.

Hope that helps for now. Thank you.

@rankmath Those are deleted but you also add rows in following tables WP_POSTMETA and WP_OPTIONS.

Hello @alriksson

Can you please send a screenshot showing the data?

Also, please stay advised that an updated version will be released later this week which will have a better cleaning process. You might want to try that if you are still seeing any data.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
