Nope, there’s no categories that have that stub. It also seems to only be affecting pages, but only certain pages/child pages. I also deactivated all the plugins and there’s no change.
Sorry to bump this. We’re still having this issue, and it’s starting to affect our indexing in search engines.
Right now, the site is set to use custom permalinks: /%category%/%postname%/
They have 4 city locations, each represented as a page. Any pages that deal with a particular city are child pages under it. The blog also uses category names with the same stubs as the cities so that when posting to that category/city, they appear as a child page under that city stub as well.
This has been working for the last 6 months, so I’m not sure if that structure is what’s causing the issue or not.
