Category based custom permalink structure

Rank Math free

Hello there,
I am not using Rank Math yet but I would really like to.
The thing is I use yoast now and I have permalink structure like /%category%/%postname%/ and yoast has this feature called (loosely translated) ‘main category’ – it is the one used for permalink if I put a post in a few categories. I frequently have 1 post in like 4-7 categories so this is really useful to me. I copied all settings from yoast to Rank Math and everything looks good. But when I make a new post and assign it to a few categories like A, C and D it gets a random permalink like B. If I use 1 category everything is fine, but when I publish an article in a few categories Rank Math goes crazy. Am I missing some feature/setting? can anything be done about that? Can I choose which category should be used for permalink?
I hope you can help me out,
Regards
Limaq

Hello,

I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the permalink structure while using Rank Math.

To set a primary category for your posts in Rank Math, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Posts.
3. Under the Primary Taxonomy section, select the taxonomy you want to use as the primary category for your permalinks.
By setting the primary category in Rank Math, you can ensure that the correct category slug is used in the permalinks of your posts when they belong to multiple categories.

If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please feel free to ask.

Thank you for considering Rank Math, and I hope this helps you resolve the permalink structure matter.

Best regards
