Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your pages not showing up in their respective categories after installing Rank Math. It sounds like there may be a problem with how the categories are configured or indexed on your website.
Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
-
Check Category Settings: Ensure that your posts are correctly assigned to the appropriate categories. You can do this by editing each post and verifying the category selection.
-
Permalink Settings: Sometimes, permalink settings can cause issues. Go to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and simply click Save Changes to refresh your permalink structure.
-
Reindex Your Site: If you have made changes to your site structure, it might help to reindex your site. You can do this by using the Index Status report in Rank Math’s Analytics. Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Analytics → Index Status to check for any issues.

-
Check for Conflicting Plugins: Sometimes, other plugins can conflict with Rank Math. Try deactivating other plugins temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.
-
Clear Cache: If you are using a caching plugin, clear your cache to ensure that the latest changes are reflected on your site.
If you have gone through these steps and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we are here to help you resolve it!
