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?

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.

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

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