In reply to: how to create special series on blog?!Hey — thanks. I will keep this in mind.
Since I posted this, I gave in and tried the Organize Series plugin. It’s bulky as hell, but it does work. (It creates a custom taxonomy and then somehow incorporates a little navigation box.)
I may try to look into short codes, though. I never created my own before.
Thanks for your help!!

In reply to: My RSS feed is not workingNever mind – i figured it out. I fixed where you mentioned mark then emptied the cache and fixed another few invalid things …. and it seemed to work!

In reply to: My RSS feed is not workingHey Mark,
I changed the the dash mark in that sentence, but the error seems to be the same.
Gargh.
You don’t happen to know of any work around, would you?

In reply to: Problem with pagination on category pagesWow — thank you so much for showing that sitemap.
I just looked under the SEO plugin permalink settings and the checkbox reading:
“Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL.
We suggest using FV Top Level Categories, if you insist on keeping this but do know that the feature is very error prone and not that important for your SEO.”and it is not checked. (so, no, yoast is not set to strip the category base.)
When I initially put the period in the category base under settings –> permalinks, I only did it to clean up the URL and make it look better. I had no idea how it would play out with something like this … eek.
And beyond having lots of categories, I also have lots of subcategories.
(Like this article: http://learntocodewith.me/programming/python/python-2-vs-python-3/ is under the “programming” category and then the “python”)
Thanks for all your help so far Mandie!

In reply to: Problem with pagination on category pagesHi — my apologies!
I changed the posts to display as 10 to hide the problem. It is back at 5 now. And the pagination appears again, and still not working.
After some more digging around i think the problem has to do with the permalink structure.
I use a custom permalink structure with this: /%category%/%postname%/
And then in the “Category Base” field, I have a single period to prevent the “category” name appear in the url. (so its not learntocodewith.me/category/women and just learntocodewith.me/women.)
(Link here to article that said to put the period in the category base: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/removing-category-base-urls-wordpress/ )
Still not sure how to fix, though.
