Permalink structure issue after bulk update

Hello guys,

I’ve used this plugin to bulk remove a top-level category from a few hundred products and replace it with another top-level category.

Problem 1

The edit product permalink field still shows the product to be a part of the old category,

hence

Problem 2

These products can now be accessed by two different urls:

example.com/shop/old-category/same-product
example.com/shop/new-category/same-product

I’ve tried flushing the permalinks by saving permalink settings with no luck. And since this bulk update didn’t trigger Rank Math to automatically issue 301 redirects, I am not sure how to fix this.

If I use the native wordpress edit post on a product that hasn’t been updated via BEAR, everything works properly and the category changes along with the permalink.
