Wrong category redirections?

Hi! i found today strange behaviour.

Our shop page have problem with “category links”.

Example:
We have category “child-category” with path:
https://www.example.pl/category-page/main-category/child-category

But for some reason we can also use:
https://www.example.pl/category-page/here-you-can-write-anythingsjjdjdjdjdjdjdjddj/child-category
https://www.example.pl/category-page/xxxxx-ttttt-ddddd/child-category
And there is no redirect to: https://www.example.pl/category-page/main-category/child-category

All this links show page/duplicate? /category-page/no-matter-what-is-here/child-category

Is it normal in wordpress/woocommerce or it’s works wrong? is easy way to fix this?

Chatgpt suggest add to wpcode this php… but i’m not sure…

add_action(‘template_redirect’, function () {

if (is_admin() || wp_doing_ajax() || wp_doing_cron()) {
    return;
}

if (empty($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) || $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] !== 'GET') {
    return;
}

// Nie ruszamy adresów z parametrami, np. filtrowania, sortowania, UTM-ów.
if (!empty($_GET)) {
    return;
}

// Nie ruszamy kluczowych stron WooCommerce.
if (
    function_exists('is_cart') && is_cart() ||
    function_exists('is_checkout') && is_checkout() ||
    function_exists('is_account_page') && is_account_page()
) {
    return;
}

$canonical_url = '';

// Strony, wpisy, produkty i inne pojedyncze typy treści.
if (is_singular()) {
    $object_id = get_queried_object_id();

    if ($object_id) {
        $canonical_url = get_permalink($object_id);
    }
}

// Kategorie produktów, kategorie wpisów, tagi i inne taksonomie.
if (is_tax() || is_category() || is_tag()) {
    $term = get_queried_object();

    if (
        $term &&
        !is_wp_error($term) &&
        !empty($term->term_id) &&
        !empty($term->taxonomy)
    ) {
        $canonical_url = get_term_link((int) $term->term_id, $term->taxonomy);
    }
}

if (!$canonical_url || is_wp_error($canonical_url)) {
    return;
}

$current_path = trailingslashit(parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH));
$canonical_path = trailingslashit(parse_url($canonical_url, PHP_URL_PATH));

if ($current_path !== $canonical_path) {
    wp_safe_redirect($canonical_url, 301);
    exit;
}

}, 1);

But maybe we are missing something in settings? any help?
