Hi,

I’m just browsing all the topics and found that several users face the same issue – the primary category functionality doesn’t work.

You answered that it was passed to the dev team and so on, yet on the website it’s still highlighted as a feature. I don’t think it’s fair.

You can see it included in the yoast vs rankmath table as “Choose a Primary Category” – https://rankmath.com/yoast-alternative/

It’s also highlighted here as a feature no 49 – https://rankmath.com/wordpress/plugin/seo-suite/

Thank you for your reply.

It turned out that the functionality was not working due to the template used.

But I have another question – I use this functionality in WooCommerce. I have a product that is assigned to 2 different categories (sweaters and sweatshirts), one of which is marked as the primary one.

The product URL structure contains the name of the category. In my case it is%shop%/%product_cat%/%product_name%.

Such structure, however, even when choosing the primary category, causes 2 different URL addresses under which the product is available.

example.com/shop/sweaters/product_name
example.com/shop/sweatshirts/product_name

I would like only the URL with the main category to be available.

Can this be achieved thanks to this functionality, or will it already be a custom solution?

Hello,

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

This is expected behavior since the generation of product permalinks is controlled by WordPress. You may need a custom solution to achieve this.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
