Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the removal of the product category base in your multilanguage WooCommerce setup. It seems that while the setting is working for your primary language, it may not be applying correctly to the other languages.
To ensure that the category base is removed for all languages, please follow these steps:
-
Check Rank Math Settings: Make sure that the Strip Category Base option is enabled for each language in Rank Math. You can find this setting by navigating to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Links. If you are using the advanced mode, ensure that this option is available and enabled for all languages.

-
Permalink Structure: Verify that your permalink structure is consistent across all languages. Sometimes, discrepancies in permalink settings can lead to issues with URL formatting.
-
WPML Compatibility: Since you are using WPML, ensure that the settings for translating taxonomies and permalinks are correctly configured. You may need to check WPML’s documentation or settings to ensure compatibility with Rank Math.
-
Clear Cache: If you have any caching plugins or server-side caching, clear the cache after making changes to see if that resolves the issue.
If you have followed these steps and are still experiencing issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from our support team will take over and provide more specific guidance.

Hello,
Thank you for answer.
The Strip Category Base is activated for both languages. And now this issue is fixed. Although some automatic redirect form category to a product are happening and I don’t know why. The redirect options on RankMath setting are not active.
Thanks
