   Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL.

   This doesn't work. after the 1.2.8.1 update

   it every category shows 404 now. Can you help?

   sigh I shouldn't have updated.

   Somehow in my dashboard:
   settings>permalinks

   my general settings was changed. it said: /page/%category%/%postname%/

   instead of only: /%category%/%postname%/

   I removed /page

   and the website was back to normal.

   Hope this helps...

   Try unchecking the 'strip catergory' box, then ticking it and saving again.

   forcing the category to be included fixed my issue : http://www.seo-saijogeorge.com.au/how-to-fix-404-categories-tag-xml-sitemap-in-wordpress-seo-by-yoast/

   found a solution.

   so basically, If you are using a multisite, don't use "category strip" from Yoast. It just gives you a headache.

   1.check off "category strip"
   2. go to permalinks, and update as this blog says
   http://praveenlobo.com/techblog/how-to-remove-the-blog-slug-from-the-permalinksurl-in-wordpress-multisite-installation-without-a-plugin/

   3. download http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/no-category-base-wpml/
   4. activate the plugin and you will live in peace.
