Hello @giorgos93,

That’s the expected behavior. The parent category is not set to noindex if the child category has posts. We have also asked developers to look into this and see if the same can be done with the Include Empty Terms option of the sitemap settings.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Thank you.

Hello @thegulshankumar,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

1. Both wrong and right URLs are the same. Please share a screenshot using a tool like https://imgur.com, so we can check, and assist you further.
2. The tags you mentioned are used for enhancing the link sharing in Slack, not for Twitter cards. If you want to remove those tags, please disable the Slack Enhanced Sharing option in WP Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Titles & Meta > Post Types.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello @szepeviktor,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

Our developers are aware of the issue and are working on fixing it. For now, please add the following filter to your site to fix the issue:

use RankMath\Helper;

add_filter('pre_update_option_rewrite_rules', function ( $value, $old_value, $option ) {
    class WPML_RM_WC_Permalinks extends \RankMath\WooCommerce\Permalink_Watcher {

        /**
         * Re update rewrite rules.
         *
         * @param array $rules The compiled array of rewrite rules during options update.
         *
         * @return array
         */
        public function re_update_rules_array( $rules ) {
            if ( $this->rm_filter_added() ) {
                return $rules;
            }
            if ( Helper::get_settings( 'general.wc_remove_category_base' )
                || Helper::get_settings( 'general.wc_remove_category_parent_slugs' ) ) {
                return $this->add_rewrite_rules( $rules );
            }
            return $rules;

        }

        /**
         * Checks if \RankMath\WooCommerce\Permalink_Watcher->add_rewrite_rules is added.
         * 
         * @return bool
         */
        private function rm_filter_added(){
            global $wp_filter;
            if ( ! empty( $wp_filter['rewrite_rules_array'] ) ) {

                foreach ( $wp_filter['rewrite_rules_array']->callbacks as $key => $filter ) {
                    $item = current($filter)['function'];
                    if ( ! is_array( $item ) ) {
                        continue;
                    }

                    if ( 'RankMath\WooCommerce\Permalink_Watcher' === get_class( $item[0] ) ) {
                        return true;
                    }

                }
            }
            return false;
        }
    }

    return ( new WPML_RM_WC_Permalinks() )->re_update_rules_array( $value );
}, 10, 3 );

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello @giorgos93,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

This is the expected behavior. Themes show the posts of the subcategories on the category page, but if you check the category list in the backend, you will see that 0 posts are assigned to that category. When our plugin checks the database, it finds the same(zero posts) for the main category, and excludes it from the sitemap.

If you want to include main categories in the sitemap, then you should include the empty categories in the sitemap.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello @rose18,

We can’t replicate the issue on our end. The setup wizard works fine even when the Elementor AI functions are enabled for the user-account. You should get in touch with Elementor’s support, as they will be in a better position to share the exact cause and more details about the issue.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Thank you.

Hello @ryanturk,

Thank you so much for the kind words and support! We’re really glad to hear the setup was smooth and that you’re finding the suggestions helpful.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello @nirav257,

Hello @connorbeers,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

Regarding the 404 Monitor, keeping logs for a very long time can gradually increase the size of your database, especially on high-traffic websites where many 404 hits are recorded daily. A larger log table may slightly affect database performance over time, though most sites won’t notice any immediate speed impact.

To keep your setup lightweight, we recommend:

• Using the “Simple” mode instead of “Advanced” mode if you only need basic tracking
• Periodically clearing old 404 logs
• Limiting how long logs are stored based on your needs

This helps maintain optimal database performance while still allowing you to monitor broken URLs effectively.

We’re glad you’re enjoying the plugin, and we truly appreciate your support.
