Category slugs changed when plug in active.

    Pages in category slugs are being changed when plug in active.

    We have a archive page for our portfolio of work which is /category/portfolio/
    Items on this archive page should direct to
    /portfolio/portfolio-item-name/
    however when rank math is active clicking on items on the archive page swaps out “portfolio” in the slug with uncategroised as per below.
    /uncategorized/portfolio-item-name/

    The posts in wordpress are only linked to the portfolio category. Uncategorized is not checked. When have turned off Rank math features one by one, however the only fix at this stage is to disable the plugin completely.

    We have disabled features in Rank Math one by one however, it remains. We have also gone to the tools menu and reset everything here including redirects with no luck.

    Thanks.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Could you please head over to Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Links > Strip Category Base and check to ensure that this is disabled.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Just checked and this setting was already disabled so that’s not the issue.

    Kind regards,
    John.

    Hello,

    Thanks for getting back to us.

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP 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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

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

    Thank you.
