    I am currently using the Rank Math SEO plugin alongside TranslatePress to build a multilingual website. I’ve encountered an issue with the canonical URL, specifically on category pages. When I switch to the second language (e.g., from English to Vietnamese), the canonical URL in the page source remains the URL of the default language instead of updating to the URL of the active language. This issue only occurs on post category pages, not on other pages.

    For example:

    This could potentially affect SEO, as I’d like each language’s category page to have its own corresponding canonical URL based on the active language’s URL. I’ve checked the settings in both Rank Math SEO and TranslatePress but haven’t found a solution yet.

    Could you please guide me on how to configure Rank Math SEO so that the canonical URL automatically adjusts to the language being used on category pages? If you need more details (e.g., plugin versions, current settings, etc.), I’d be happy to provide them.

    Thank you for your assistance!

    Hello @webkitvn,
     
    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
     
    Please make sure that you haven’t entered the canonical URL manually in the Advanced tab of our plugin’s meta box for the categories. Please check and remove if there is a manually entered canonical URL. Once done, our plugin will add the correct canonical URL to the translated pages: https://rankmath.com/kb/advanced-tab/
     
    Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    I have identified the cause, which is the Permalink Manager plugin. I used the Exclusion Category feature, and now the permalink has returned to default.
