Joost, I hate to tell you but the strip category base is still not right even in the dev version.
It seemed to be holding its setting yesterday, but after a handful of new posts it’s gone again. Re-saving the settings still works so I’d advise anyone to re-save their category base settings after they do anything on site until you can get a handle on this.
Good luck!
I have the same problem. I just wanted to add that when activating strip category base, the author url also stopps working. They start to redirect to the homepage – but my setting is to keep the author pages.
Tried the development version ( imported settings ) but the categories does not work . Neither does the tag / category sitemaps.
Not sure if anything else is broken ..
Same issue. Any category links displaying as 404 errors, however individual posts showing at http://www.dentalholiday.co.uk
Have install the .dev version, but didn’t resolve this issue…
I tried the development version, I tried to go back a few versions, tried removing the plugin and the problem persists?! How can I remove it completely!?
WordPress SEO 1.2.5 in use and Categories return an error 404 with WP 3.4.1, no caching plug-in is installed, genesis framework and generate theme installed, all posts, pages, tags do work though, any safe fixes yet?
What is the situation with a fix for WordPress SEO 1.2.5?
I turn it off the Categories work, I turn it on and the plug-in breaks categories after the WordPress update 3.4.1
Any progress?
This plugin failed to break my installation of WordPress … Does anyone know any way to remove it completely!? I will not expect a response from Yoast …
You do not expect a response from Yoast! why?
the holiday season that has arrived in the Netherlands. Could it be that he is on vacation, or a life besides wordpress?
Hi every one !
While waiting correction of this bug you can use this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/no-category-base-wpml/
cheers.
Dear Ismail,
Thank you so much for your advice with this issue, my site is working again.
Thanks Ismail. Works well. This bug cost me a lot. Traffic to my site dropped to about 1/3, revenues maybe less, and Google search impressions dropped from about 300,000 per day to just 12,000 yesterday. Hopefully it will recover soon.
I advise everyone to use this plugin while you are waiting for a fix and go check your site on Google Webmaster Tools.
I have to add that I have the same issue. I tried switching to the standart theme, disabling all the plugins and it did not help.
This is smth that your pligin does.
I love your plugin a lot.
Using “WP No Category Base – WPML compatible” right now. Wating for the fix.

I’m not from Holland or know how the system works there on vacation … I like many am waiting for a response to you the case of an absence the author could have communicated to us all … I contacted the site Yoast, but until now been ignored. Unfortunately I have no time to analyze the code … at least if it was documented I could try to find the problem …
As I can not even disable the plugin I’m going back all my environment in a second place and will not install this plugin until this thread is resolved … Particularly I’m looking at some premium plugins to solve my problem …
