Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the primary term in Rank Math. The primary term is used to determine which category will be displayed in the breadcrumbs for a specific post or product. It helps in organizing your content and improving navigation for users.
If you have products in multiple categories and want to ensure that a specific category is used as the primary term, you can follow these steps:
- Edit the Product: Go to the product edit screen in your WordPress dashboard.
- Select Primary Category: In the Rank Math meta box, look for the option to select the primary category. Make sure to choose the category you want to set as primary.
- Update the Product: After selecting the desired primary category, make sure to update the product to save your changes.
If you are still experiencing issues where the primary category is not being respected, it may be due to theme compatibility or other settings. You can refer to our guide on how to choose a primary category for more detailed instructions.
Thank you for raising this concern! If you need further assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Hey,
Never mind.
I was using Permalink Manager for WooCommerce by berocket and I found out that is not compatible with primary categories from rank math.
I replaced it with Permalink Manager Lite and everything is back to normal.
