Usually when you click on a category word (like “Tiny Houses” after the “Filed Under:” heading meta), it’s supposed to display an index page of posts that have that category, like [this](http://tinyhousereport.com/category/tiny-houses/). * Thread Starter [digitalcam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalcam/) * (@digitalcam) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-description-html/#post-5070283) * Actually, that is exactly what happens. * I’m using Yoast SEO Plugin which takes the word “category” out of the url. My problem exists even with the Yoast plugin disabled. * [CrouchingBruin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crouchingbruin/) * (@crouchingbruin) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-description-html/#post-5070293) * Did you try clearing your cache after disabling Yoast to make sure the problem wasn’t with Yoast? Not just your browser’s cache, but any cache plugin that you have installed like WP Fastest Cache, because the cache may still be storing the old version of the site. Did you happen to make a change to the postformat. php file?
