    Good morning,
    if I set multiple categories for an article, how do I choose the main one?
    It happens, in fact, that not setting a main category, the category in the bread and that in the url can be different.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

    Within the post edit page, you can set the primary term for the post using the option shown below:
    Primary term

    If your posts contains multiple taxonomies, you can also set the primary category for use on the breadcrumbs by heading over to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Select the post type from the right tabs > Primary Taxonomy as shown below:
    Taxonomy options

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Unfortunately I can’t see the checkbox to set the main category. I have wordpress 5.2.3 and the option seems to have disappeared.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the response.

    It is likely that one of your installed plugins could be causing a conflict resulting in the disappearance of this option. Could you please perform the steps outlined on this page and let us know how this goes: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Thank you.

    Even with the default theme and only Rank Math enabled, the checkbox does not appear.

    Hello,

    Thanks for getting back to us.

    This is quite odd. 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?

    I entered sensitive data

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the access.

    I am afraid that the plugin’s integration with the Gutenberg editor is still basic at the moment and this is one of the features that is not supported.
    I can suggest that you install the Classic editor plugin to be able to set the primary term on your posts. This feature will hopefully be available sometime soon.

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.
