Categories Redirect to Homepage

    Hello All,

    I’m stumped. When I click on a category, it redirects to my homepage. All categories behave this way. Here’s some relative info:

    1. When I change themes…the categories work. [Most confusing]
    2. I’ve checked the .htaccess file and all is OK
    3. My permalinks are not custom.
    4. I was running 2.3 when I noticed the problem, then upgrade to 2.5.1 in hopes that the issue would magically disappear…it didn’t 😉

    I’m not sure what else to include. I’ve been working with wordpress, off and on, since version 1.5 and have never seen this type of issue.

    Any help is appreciated,
    Tim

    Update: I’ve tried half a dozen themes and in all of them – the categories lead to the desired category and not the homepage.

    So my question is: What, in a theme, could cause the category links to redirect to the homepage? I’m at a loss…

    Problem solved. Too embarrassed to say what it was… 🙂 I should have taken a closer look at the code in archives.php before posting.

    i’m having a similar problem after upgrading to 2.6.1 – all of my year and month archives just redirect to the home page? what did you do to get it working again?

    figured it out! there was a check next to ‘Disable the date-based archives’ for the Robots Meta plugin…
