Did what I needed it to do in one click.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-did-what-i-needed-it-to-do-in-one-click/)󠁿 [Mimi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/immeemz/) September 25, 2021 For some reason my Yoast was not respecting the “primary category” and creating multiple instances of duplicate content when a post was in more than one category. I just installed this and hit “save” on the basic settings and the problem was resolved. Fast, easy, and WORKS, can’t do better than that. Thank you!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cf7c0dc8da0d79b140906c76d73570aea5e6338185d9df9028f9aaea2c299639? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[gold and simple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-simple-and-gold/)󠁿 [Frontkom](https://profiles.wordpress.org/frontkom/) June 4, 2021 Pretty usefull and fast forward.
