Hello,

I have escalated the case to our compatibility team, as I have been able to reproduce it on clean sanbdox.

They will check further and confirm this bug, and provide if possible workaround for you.

I will update you soon.

Regards,
Drazen

Hello,

just to add to that issue, the sitemaps that are provided by rankmath are also using the wrong slug.

Hello,

we will be checking for permanent fix, but in the meantime, you can use the next workaround:

- Open the wp-content\plugins\seo-by-rank-math\includes\modules\woocommerce\class-permalink-watcher.php file

- On Permalink_Watcher::term_link(), around line 124, replace the following snippet:

$permalink_structure  = wc_get_permalink_structure();
$category_base        = trailingslashit( $permalink_structure['category_rewrite_slug'] );
$is_language_switcher = ( class_exists( 'Sitepress' ) && strpos( $link, 'lang=' ) );

With:

$permalink_structure  = wc_get_permalink_structure();

// WPML Workaround for compsupp-6895
if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) {
	$args = array('element_id' => $term->term_id, 'element_type' => $taxonomy );
	$term_language_info = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_language_details', null, $args );
	$permalink_structure['category_rewrite_slug'] = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $permalink_structure['category_rewrite_slug'], 'WordPress', 'URL '.$taxonomy.' tax slug', $term_language_info->language_code );
}

$category_base        = trailingslashit( $permalink_structure['category_rewrite_slug'] );
$is_language_switcher = ( class_exists( 'Sitepress' ) && strpos( $link, 'lang=' ) );
