Big thanks to Sandeep, The plugin works well. I just want to ask what happens to
URL of pages from SEO perspective. I have pages domain.com/products/itemType1_PageA
domain.com/products/itemType1_PageB domain.com/products/itemType2_PageC domain.com/
products/itemType2_PageD Now when I create category itemType1 new URL is created:
domain.com/category/itemType1 Where itemType1_PageA and itemType1_PageB are listed.
My question is will the new URL interfere with existing links or not?

Please do fix. This plugin crash with Yoast SEO. When I created new page, the Category
option did appear but the categories under it didn’t showing up. And there is an
error sentence “An error occurred loading the Yoast SEO primary taxonomy picker.”
