    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and bringing your concern to our attention.

    Our plugin should address this by establishing a canonical URL to point all post variations to a single post URL to avoid content duplication.

    You should see in your page source that the canonical is added correctly:

    Hope that clarifies any doubt.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thanks for your response, but what I am trying to find out is that is it supposed to be like that or the link should only be available at the main category I selected when publishing the post?

    Hello,

    This is actually an expected behavior from WordPress since you are pointing multiple categories in a single post, and the permalink was set to have the category slug, you will have multiple URLs for that single content.

    However, the canonical will handle the correct URLs to avoid duplication of content in the eyes of the search engines.

    If you would like to have only 1 URL, you can establish a redirection.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
