Greetings, Before I upgrade, I want to resolve an issue I am having with the permalink character count. It appears to be caching or accessing info so when I enter a slug, it begins at around 50 characters or so. I cannot enter a full permalink without going over recommended max.
I ran a wipe on redirects and reset the settings but it did not correct the issue. I looked into the taxonomy and other settings in the advanced setup for your product but don’t know if settings are the issue. I am using the default canonical name setup in wp.
I was having this issue before I tried shortening top level category permalink without success. I installed a category removing plugin next thinking it might remove categories and free up permalink space issue but all it did was cause an error showing too many redirects on the web. I removed the plugin and the site reverted back to where it was but still having the restriction on characters in permalink box.
I have a long domain name but this issue only arose in the last few days after I made a few changes and removed another plugin for redirects. Before I removed redirects pro, I deleted all records and reset it thinking that it would create a clean slate for your software to handle moving forward on redirects. I am not sure if that caused the issue. My site is not live but was live for a few days before this happened and I put it back into coming soon mode. It has not been indexed by search engines yet so redirects probably were not an issue and why I removed the 303’s.
if you would please help with a solution, I will upgrade to pro. I also would like your advice on removing categories for a shorter url and if this is a good or bad idea and how to do. Thanks in advance for your help and hope to hear back soon!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Could you please check if you have put the whole URL in the Permalinks section upon editing the snippet?
If so, here’s a link for more information:
https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-slug/#num-2-3-set-slug-with-rank-math-snippet-editorPlease ensure that you did not put the whole URL (
https://holistichealthandfitnesstips.com/) in that part as it will be automatically appended after your website’s URL. For example, if you are editing the Contact page, you should only put there the word Contact.You can also share some screenshots of the issue using this tool and share the link here so we can check further.
I hope that helps.
Thank you.
