Cannot set primary category for posts

    Hi!
    I’ve followed your steps on how to set a primary category for blog posts in wordpress but none of the methods I could find work for me. When I click on categories in the post edit tool there is not a spot to check off the primary category on the right. Also when I go to posts under rank math on the left hand toolbar I do not have a section to set the category as my primary taxonomy. Can you please help me with this as my main page is showing primary categories for my posts that I don’t want it to. Thank you!

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I can’t seem to replicate this issue on my end.

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    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:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hi Jeremy,

    I appreciate you looking into this. I’ve added my login details for wordpress above. I hope you are able to solve this for me!

    Thanks so much

    Hello,

    It seems you forgot to add your website admin’s login URL. Can you please share it with us so we can further investigate your issue?

    Thank you.

    So sorry. I’ve added it now!

    Hello,

    Thank you for keeping in touch with us.

    I set your Primary Taxonomy and you should be able to select a primary category in your post.

    The reason you haven’t seen this option in the settings is that you are using Rank Math in “Easy Mode”. I switched to “Advanced Mode” to set your primary taxonomy:
