   somehow it shows posts randomly from [https://www.simple-remedies.com/category/health-tips-5](https://www.simple-remedies.com/category/health-tips-5)
 * This is happening with lot of other cateogries… like clicking… [https://www.simple-remedies.com/category/mens-health](https://www.simple-remedies.com/category/mens-health)
   shows posts from another category.
 * I have checked the backend properly, in the post editing it is only one category
   which has been selected.

 * This is a puzzler.
 * Let’s try a few things.
 * 1. Settings->Permalinks. Re-save the permalinks.
 * 2. If that doesn’t work. this may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt
   to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem
   goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.

 * Advice from one of the folks in the back room:
 * > The two categories in his example are “beauty” and “health-tips-5”. Now, if
   > you look at which IDs those categories are using our handy dandy REST API, 
   > you find that they are 4931 and 4930, respectively.

   > So, something in his code which generates that page of posts from a category
   > has an off-by-one error somewhere.
 * I think that doing the disable plugins / theme thing will help figure out where
   that might be occurring.
