Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the parent slug removal option in your WooCommerce store. It can be frustrating when settings do not work as expected.
To ensure that the parent slugs are removed from your URLs, please follow these steps:
-
Navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → WooCommerce.
-
Make sure that the Remove parent slugs option is enabled.
-
Additionally, check if you have enabled the Strip category base option in Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Links. This will help in creating cleaner URLs.
If you have already done this and the issue persists, it might be beneficial to check if there are any caching plugins or server-side caching that could be affecting the URL changes. Clearing the cache may resolve the issue.
If you continue to experience problems, please reply to this ticket with your site URL, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.
Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it could be caused by a conflict with one of your plugins/theme.
To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.
Let us know how this goes.
Thank you.
