Hello, we have 2 websites with rankmath but it is impossible for us to access the categories in other languages when we have rank math and polylang activated.

We have applied https://rankmath.com/kb/polylang-compatibility/, but we still cannot see the categories.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

This issue is with our option to remove the category base /product-category/.

The compatibility for the feature needs to be added by Polylang, and they are not willing to add compatibility for our plugin. We have tried to reach out to them many times but since they aren’t willing to add the compatibility, there is nothing we can do to make the options work with their plugin.

For your product categories to work the same as your translated URLs, you should disable the Remove Category Base option for now in Rank Math > General Settings > WooCommerce:

Looking forward to helping you.

We have been able to fix the issue with this code after studying Polylang a bit more. We are very happy with Rank Math, and if we continue to experience problems with Polylang or if necessary, we will consider switching to another language plugin. However, for now, we have resolved the issue with this code, and we’re sharing it here for anyone who might find it useful.

Thank you for your quick response, it has been very helpful. On the other hand, we have received no response from Polylang—just silence—for over three months of waiting.
```
// Check if Polylang is active before executing the function
if (function_exists('pll_the_languages')) {
    // Hook to remove rewrite rules upon theme setup
    add_action('after_setup_theme', 'remove_polylang_rewrite_rules');
}

function remove_polylang_rewrite_rules() {
    // Delete existing rewrite rules from the database
    delete_option('rewrite_rules');
    // Regenerate the rewrite rules
    flush_rewrite_rules();
}
```
