When I configure Yoast to remove the /category/ from my URL and click on the next page or page “2”. , pagnavi returns the URL /page-numbers/

If I configure Yoast to keep /category/ in the URL, pagnavi works, however, my URL is then back to having the name “category” in it. /funny/category/movies/funny-movie-title/23342/
One thing to note is my permalinks, which is

What I need for SEO is for the URL to be /funny/movies/page/2/ – which I can see when I mouse over the page “2” icon.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
