  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Could you please share an example of the category where this is not working? I’ve tested this on our end but the permalinks work as expected.

    Also, assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.

    To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    If the issue persists, please record a video screencast using a tool like Loom showing the troubleshooting and edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the update, and sorry for the delay.

    I’ve tried checking your site, but it seems that the access you have provided is very limited for us to investigate this issue further.

    Could you please update it to admin-level access and share the affected category/URLs?

    Thank you, and we really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for keeping in touch with us.

    Upon checking one of your categories, it seems to be loading just fine on my end. Please see the screenshot in the Sensitive Data section.

    Can you please check this on your end?

    If it still seems I am missing something, sharing the affected URL which you believe has an issue would help us further solving this.

    We are looking forward to helping you.

    When visiting the category archive pages from the front end, quite often it will return a 404 and then on trying again will go to the correct page.
