<p>SEO-friendly Product Category URL by XD is a plugin designed to optimize your WooCommerce product category URLs for SEO. By default, WooCommerce appends category names in product URLs. This plugin removes the category name from the URL if it matches the product name, making the URLs cleaner and more SEO-friendly.</p>
<p>Key Features:<br />
   – Removes category name from product URLs when it matches the product name.<br />
   – Ensures more SEO-friendly and shorter URLs for products.<br />
   – Works seamlessly with WooCommerce and custom product categories.<br />
   – Automatically filters and optimizes category and product URLs.</p>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<ol>
<li>After activation, go to <strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>Permalinks</strong> in the WordPress admin panel.</li>
<li>Make sure the <strong>Category base</strong> is set to your preferred value (e.g., <code>/shop</code> or leave it blank).</li>
<li>The plugin will automatically start filtering and optimizing your product category URLs based on product names.</li>
</ol>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Before Activation</strong>: By default, WooCommerce product URLs may look like this:</p>
<p>example.com/product-category/category-name/product-name/</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>After Activation</strong>: If the product’s name matches the category name, the category name is removed:</p>
<p>example.com/product-name/</p>
<p>This makes your URLs more concise, cleaner, and SEO-friendly.</p>
</li>
</ul>
