Hey guys! Thanks for awesome plugin!
Wanted to know smth.
I remove category base (/product-category/) and it works great, like: https://site.com/my-category/
But, when I go directly to https://site.com/product-category/my-category/ I can still get to that page.
Would that be considered a double-page?
Probably there’s a way to set a redirect? (just as it works with products).

Thank you for your time.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting MyThemeShop and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

This should not be happening. Seems this is the second time a user is facing this issue.

Could you please update to the latest version and see if the issue persists?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

I also wanted to let you know that your product category pages are set to noindex. Is that intentional?

And, please create a new redirection in the redirection manager and set it this way:
```
Source: ^product-category/(.*)
Type: regex
Destination: $1
```
That will redirect your product category pages with the category base to the non-category base version.

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

Heya! Thanks for your reply!
Yea, the website is still under construction, that’s why I’ve closed indexation.

Can you kindly tell me how can I get to redirection manager to implement that?
I don’t really want to install any extra plugins for that tho.
```
Source: ^product-category/(.*)
Type: regex
Destination: $1
```
Should I probably just add a line to:
```
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
```
Like this: regex ^product-category/(.*) $1

Yea, also your software is up to date.

Thanks!

*** Update

Also, when this enabled: https://prnt.sc/mulrcq
every single category page returns 404.
