No Primary Category Showing

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing with the primary category option not showing in Rank Math. Importing data from SEOPress should not break this functionality.

To resolve this, please ensure that you have selected the correct post type or taxonomy where you want the primary category to appear. You can do this by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and selecting the appropriate post type/taxonomy. Then, make sure to enable the Add SEO Controls option for that post type.

Here’s a quick guide on how to do this:

1. Go to Titles & Meta settings.
2. Select the post type/taxonomy on the left-hand side.
3. Enable the Add SEO Controls option.

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

If that option is already selected and the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
