No primary category option for WooCommerce Product anymore

Edit: I found out that an update to Yoast 15.2.1 completely broke the plugin and it’s not working properly anymore. Everything is working fine with e.g. 14.9. I even tried a manual update but it still didn’t work so I had to revert back to the old version for now.

@beats247 We checked on the ‘Make primary’ feature on products and tested with WordPress version 5.5.3 and Yoast SEO version 15.2.1 and were able to use the feature without any issues (see image here).

Can you confirm you are using WordPress 5.5.3 and WooCommerce version 4.7.0? You can check by clicking on the W in the top left and selecting About. If you need to update, please check with your host provider. Please know that if you are using an older version of WordPress Core you may experience unexpected behavior with Yoast.

If you update to the most current version of WordPress, WooCommerce and Yoast SEO, does this resolve the issue?

Hello,
yes, I am using the latest versions of WC and WordPress. It seems to be an issue with my theme. The devs will update it and this will hopefully fix the issue. Thanks
