 * Hi there,
 * I was in the process of installing Yoast and migrating data from previous “**
   Rank Math SEO**” plugin. **Rank Math SEO** was deactivated and Yoast activated;
   migration seemed to have worked fine but I’m stuck in the Initial Configuration(
   Initial settings) process. I m stuck at the fourth step “Personal preferences”
   and cant continue further to step number 5 “Register and Continue”.
 * I clicked on it several times, deactivated all cache plugin too but nothing… 
   I am just stuck at step #4.
 * Thanks for any help,
 * Romain

 * Hello [@romain22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romain22/)
 * I’m sorry about your experience with the First time configuration. You can skip
   that and continue to the plugin settings in WordPress > Yoast SEO > Settings.

 * Hi Maybellyne,
 * Thanks for your reply. Will I loose all previous data I had with Rank Math SEO
   previously ?

 * No, not at all. SEO data are saved to the database, so they’re intact unless 
   the WordPress database is tampered with.

 * Any idea on what could cause Yoast not to continue further ?

 * Get stuck as well with initial configuration, at step 3, with social profiles(
   for company).
   We don’t have any Twitter account. Living the field blank or typing
   something random in it prevents me from validate and go to next step. Just for
   you to know and fix if needed… Thx
