Hi all, I’ve a doubt about a setting that appear during the wizard, specifically is about choosing between “Categories” or “Product Categories” as public taxonomy.
A bit of context to help you answer my question
[I’ve an online shoop with woocommerce where this https://thetravelhoop.com/hoops/polypro-travel-sectional-hoops is the category where I display all my products.
Specifically “polypro-travel-sectional-hoops” is a child of “hoops” but if you navigate into the father https://thetravelhoop.com/hoops/ i just redirect to the only category I’m using “polypro-travel-sectional-hoops”.
Please check this image -> https://imgur.com/zHudcdf
So the reason why I create a father “hoops” even if I’m not listing products in there is because in the future I might introduce new categories child of “hoops” but that don’t belong to “polypro-travel-sectional-hoops”.]Given this structure, which option you think I should select between “Categories” or “Product Categories” as public taxonomy.
Thank you,
Tabitha

Hello,
Thanks for getting in touch with us.
You can use product categories and then choose the child product category as the primary category so it can be used in the breadcrumbs:
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello,
If you are going to post also articles on the website (blog posts), you might want to keep the category sitemap enabled.
If you are not going to use them, your settings are right.
About the breadcrumbs, could you explain me a little bit more the issue with “hoops”, do you mean you see the “hoops” category in the breadcrumbs? I only see this:
Looking forward to help you.
Hello,
If you want to just have one of those pages available in Google, you could create a 301 redirection from one to the other, so when someone enters in the first one, it is automatically redirected to the second one.
Also, Google will follow that redirect and in some time, it will keep just the second link as a search result (removing the first one, since it is redirecting to the second one).
To create a redirection, you just need to go to the WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math Dashboard > Redirections and there add a new redirection with the following settings:
– Source: The link you want to redirect to the other and “Exact”
– Target: The link you want to keep in GoogleAfter that, just save your redirection and done, you just need to wait until Google changes it.
Since take time for Google to figure it out could I do both? A redirect so that if people find it now they go where I want and also a no-index that will take place in a bit.
Can I also do a question so I can learn for the following times?
Implementing a redirect will make this page stop competing on google against the one I want to rank with (they are identical) or I have to put a canonical label on the main one and a duplicate in the one I don’t want to rank?Thank you,
