 * when the plugin “Rank Math SEO” respectively the tool “Redirection” is activated,
   two of my five categroy links lead to the main page instead to the category choosen.
   moreover, only two of the five categories aree affected, that means two categories
   are linked bad but the kinks of the other three catgegories function well => 
   what could be here the causee of the probleem described?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fredirection-causes-problems%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello [@fxwoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fxwoo/),
 * Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might
   have been caused due to that.
 * It seems to be working fine on our end.
 * Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins, themes, and WordPress(
   please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins
   or the theme you are using.
 * Before determining the conflict, please ensure that the following setting is 
   turned off:
    `Strip Category Base` `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=rank-math-options-
   general#setting-panel-links` [https://i.rankmath.com/nuZ9sh](https://i.rankmath.com/nuZ9sh)
 * Clear the cache and test in an incognito window.
 * If that does not help, to determine the conflicting plugin/theme, please follow
   this troubleshooting guide:
    [https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/](https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/)
 * Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.
 * You can follow this video tutorial as well:
 * Looking forward to helping you.
