 * Hi [@bangboke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bangboke/) ,
 * Step 1: Customize WooCommerce Permalinks
    1. **Go to WordPress Dashboard**: Navigate to **Settings** > **Permalinks**.
    2. **Scroll to the WooCommerce section**: Under the **Product permalinks** section,
       you should see a field that allows you to customize the base for your product
       URLs.
    3. **Choose “Custom Base”**: In this section, you’ll see options like:
    4.  - Default: `/product/`
        - Shop base: `/shop/`
        - Shop base with category: `/shop/%product_cat%/`
        - Custom base: (This is what you need.)
    5. **Set the Custom Base**: Select the “Custom base” option and leave the field
       empty. If you leave it blank, WooCommerce will stop adding `/product/` before
       your products’ permalinks.Alternatively, you can set the custom base to `/%product_cat%/`
       to ensure that your product URLs follow this structure directly.
    6. **Save the Changes**: Click on **Save Changes** at the bottom of the page.
 * Step 2: Flush Permalinks
 * Sometimes, changes to permalink settings do not take effect immediately. To ensure
   the new structure is applied correctly:
    1. **Flush Permalinks**: After you’ve saved your custom permalink settings, WordPress
       should automatically flush the rewrite rules. However, if it doesn’t work right
       away, you can manually flush permalinks by:
    2.  - Going to **Settings** > **Permalinks**.
        - Clicking **Save Changes** again without making any modifications to force
          WordPress to regenerate the permalinks.
 * Thank you.
