Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
If you want to remove the word Category from the URL of the page on hover, you need to enable the Strip Category Base option in Rank Math > General Settings > Links. This will remove the category base from your post category archives and make the URL shorter.
For example, if you have a category archive with URL as: https://yourwebsite.com/category/masseuses/
By enabling the Strip Category Base option, the URL will look like this: https://yourwebsite.com/masseuses/
Please note that this option only affects post categories, not product categories or other custom taxonomies. If you want to remove the product-category base from your WooCommerce URLs, you need to enable the Remove Category Base option in Rank Math > General Settings > WooCommerce.
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Best regards
Hello
Thanks, I saw where it was.
Very kind for the answer
Hello
I realized that when removing the word Category from the URL, all the content of the main page disappears https://masajistastop.com/masajistas/
Thank you
Hello,
Thank you for getting back to us on this issue.
We’re not sure we totally understand what you mean by the content of the main page disappeared. Looking at your website, it looks to be working fine and your content displaying properly.
Can you please explain this issue in more detail? It would also be helpful if you could share some screenshots of what you see on your end. You can use imgur.com/upload to upload images
We hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers
Hello
By removing the word Category from the URL, all the content of the main page disappears, only the footer is visible.
Then when I went back to the previous configuration (where if the word category is seen in the url) the content was seen again, I don’t have a screenshot.
I’m going to leave it as it was, it also strikes me that something like this happens, I don’t know why it happens.
This only happens with the page https://masajistastop.com/masajistas/
That same thing has happened to me with Yoast too, I don’t know what happens.
Thank you
Hi there,
Thanks for getting back to us.
We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with your category page. This is a rare issue that we haven’t encountered before with other users. It would be really helpful if you could share some screenshots or screencasts of what you see on your end, so we can better understand the problem. But from your description, it sounds like you are saying that when you enable the Strip Category Base option, your category page content disappears and only the footer shows up. Is that correct?
This could be due to a conflict with another plugin or your theme – have you tried checking if any of them is causing the issue?
Here’s a guide on how to do that: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/
You’ll need to do the following steps:
- Deactivate all your plugins except Rank Math and activate a default theme.
- Enable the Strip Category Base option again and clear your cache.
- Check if your category page content is still missing.
Please let us know the results of this test.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience.

Yeah that’s right.
Since it’s something non-problematic for the site, I’m going to leave it as it is.
Thank you

Hello
Actually the problem has not been solved, I don’t know why it happens.
As I was saying, it also happened to me with Yoast and the same thing also happened to a friend with his site and he has Yoast.
We both use Elementor, the problem is with the breadcrumbs in the categories and the content of the page that uses the category disappears. Maybe it’s a conflict of Elementor categories and breadcrumbs with Seo plugins.
I haven’t talked to Elementor yet.
It would be nice if you guys can investigate about it.
Thank you
Hello,
We can see that the page is loading fine on our end.
Screenshot: https://i.rankmath.com/i/Og6Md7
We’ll really need a brief explanation of the issue you’re encountering and a detailed screencast that clearly shows the issue and the desired solution you want.
You may use a tool like imgur to share screenshots and loom to share screencast with us. That will help us to understand the situation better.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello
To send a screenshot I would have to Remove the category base and if I do that the main page https://masajistastop.com/masajistas/ all the content disappears and now I also have the page https://masajistastop.com/masculinos/ with categories.
Pretend that you enter any of the two mentioned pages and only see the footer, this is how it appears when you activate Remove the category base.
Now it works fine because I don’t have the Remove category base option enabled.
For the moment I am going to leave it like this because the page is visible.
I just wanted to let you guys know if you can look into the issue.
Thank you

Hello
I appreciate your help and responses. For now I’m going to let the word category show up when you hover over the breadcrumb because that’s how the site works with that configuration.
doing everything they tell me would take time.
If I need help later on, I’ll write to you again.
Thank you for your attention and for all the responses.
