when I navigate through my website the category link works great, but when I copy/paste the URL, it shows an empty page.
This happens only on category/subcategories URLs.
My permalink structure is that: /%category%/%postname%/
(The theme is a custom developed theme by me, and it is not uploaded yet to my hosting server, so it runs locally for now)
It seems that ‘Yoast SEO Plugin’ caused the issue, when I checked the strip ‘/category/’ from url. So the issue is now solved by unchekng this option in yoast plugin. Thank you
@elis – You should go back into Yoast and try to turn that setting on. Once you’ve done that, go through and flush out your rewrite rules.
Step 1: In the main menu find “Settings > Permalinks”.
Step 2: Scroll down if needed and click “Save Changes”.
Step 3: Rewrite rules and permalinks are flushed.
