Issue with Permalinks After Using Rank Math

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your permalinks after using Rank Math. It sounds like the default WooCommerce setting is still active, which adds /product-category/ to your category permalinks.

To resolve this, you can enable the "Remove category base" option in Rank Math. This will remove the /product-category/ from your permalinks, making them cleaner and more user-friendly. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Rank Math > General Settings > Permalinks.
3. Look for the option labeled Remove Category Base and enable it.
4. Save your changes.

After doing this, your permalinks should look like yoursitename.com/category-name instead of yoursitename.com/product-category/category-name.

If you continue to experience issues or if there are specific products or categories that are still not displaying correctly, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope this helps resolve your issue!

Hello,

Multiple URL length studies have shown that shorter URLs have a higher chance of ranking in the SERPs. Short URLs are simple, to the point, and specific enough to drive clicks.

You’ll just need to ensure that the previous URL is redirecting to the correct one after updating the permalinks.

Looking forward to helping you.
