 * Hi [@rbennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rbennett/),
 * The URL you’re seeing is a paginated archive page with ?cat=-1 URL parameter,
   which is used to list all categories except category #1. This isn’t a valid WordPress
   URL, so we expect to see errors, like those in the schema data and breadcrumbs.
 * We are not sure why Google is trying to crawl these URLs since these URLs do 
   not appear in sitemaps like published pages, for example. There is a schema error
   because we do not expect paginated pages to use a category parameter in the URL.
 * Since the source of the error is the incorrect URL, we recommend checking whether
   any plugin or your theme is inserting this type of link in your site. We have
   a step-by-step guide about finding plugin or theme conflicts here: [How to check for plugin conflicts](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/).
 * You can find more details about this issue and other suggestions to fix it in
   this support topic: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/negative-category-pages-cat-1/?view=all](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/negative-category-pages-cat-1/?view=all)
