    Hi, I use your wonderful Plugin on all my sites. I am having an issue on one of my sites, mindblowingmagic.com, and appreciate your help.

    My posts are organized into categories. My Main Menu up top is all the categories.
    In RankMath, general settings, there is the option to turn on Strip Category Base. 

    WITH THIS OFF –
    some Menu items go to a category page and others go directly to a post.

    WITH THIS ON –
    some Menu items go to an archive page of the category and others go to an archive page of an article yet I cannot open the article.
    I would prefer WITH THIS ON where some Menu items go to an archive page of the category. I would like to please know how to set up the Menu items – Street Magic & Cups & Balls, so they open. I appreciate your advice.
    Matt

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    Could you share the affected URL so that we can have a closer look?

    After enabling the Strip Category Base option, please head over to your WordPress admin area > Settings > Permalinks, click the “Save Changes” button (without making any changes), and see if that helps.

    If not, please check if you have another post/page/CPT (or even an attachment page) with the same slug as the slug of the category pages (or the pages that are not working). If yes, you can change the slug of one of the pages to fix the issue.

    Let us know how that goes.

    Great suggestion, I changed the slugs and then the pages worked. Thank you very much.
