Redirects After Product-Category Base Removal

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support. We’re happy to help you with your question.

You don’t need to create manual redirects when you enable the Remove Category Base option in Rank Math > General Settings > WooCommerce. This option will automatically redirect the old slugs to the new ones with the correct status code so search engines understand the change. You do not have to do anything else.

However, please make sure that your product categories don’t have the same slug as your products, as this might cause some conflicts and unexpected results.

I hope this answers your question. If you have any other queries, please feel free to reach out to us again. We’re always here to assist you.

Have a great day!
