Hello Leon,
I apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing with the “Strip Category Base” feature in Rank Math. I understand that you have activated and configured Rank Math, but the category base is not being stripped as expected.
To troubleshoot this issue, please follow these steps:
-
Make sure you have installed and set up Rank Math correctly. If you haven’t done so, you can refer to the installation guide here.
-
Check if the “Strip Category Base” option is enabled in Rank Math’s General Settings. You can find this option by navigating to “Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Links”. Please ensure that you are using the Advanced mode of Rank Math to access this option.
-
Save your permalinks again after enabling the “Strip Category Base” option. This will refresh the permalink structure and apply the changes.
If the issue persists after following these steps, it is possible that there may be a conflict with your theme or other plugins. In such cases, I recommend reaching out to the theme developer or contacting our dedicated support team for further assistance.
Please note that we are available 24/7, 365 days a year to help you with any questions or concerns you may have. You can contact our support team here.
Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your patience while we resolve this issue for you.
Kind regards,
Rank Math Support
