| Jul 2, 2019 at 4:35 | comment | added | Dennis | I think that's what's happening too, but if you have your permalink structure set to just /%postname%/, it doesn't differentiate, site.com/page-1 and site.com/post-1 both work. I get what you're saying about changing the category slugs, and I can do that as a last-ish resort / temporary fix but the site's been around for a long time with the category structure I'd mentioned. | |
| Jul 1, 2019 at 23:57 | comment | added | Michelle | I've played around and I think the problem is the /%postname%/ type permalink you're wanting for the News category (ie no category slug included) is what's used for WordPress "Pages", so WP isn't finding the single Post correctly. I'm not sure how to get around that. Another workaround (not what you want I know) would be to change just the slug of the News category to be something like 'general' or 'all' or 'stories'... not ideal based on your question but probably more future-proof than messing with WP core behavior. | |
| Jul 1, 2019 at 20:58 | comment | added | Dennis | I'd considered that but some things are too broad or don't fit neatly into a sub-category — I've set the top-level category ("News") as the default category (replacing "uncategorized"), which is why I've been looking for parallel questions related to removing "/uncategorized/" from the permalink, but none of those solutions seem to work. | |
| Jul 1, 2019 at 20:40 | comment | added | Michelle | I'm sure there's a way to do this, but maybe it would worth considering just removing those top-level categories and moving the posts into the sub-categories? if "News" is already in the URL path, and presumably all the posts in that multisite sub-site are News related, why keep it as a category at all? You could move posts by briefly using a plugin like this: wordpress.org/plugins/bulk-move | |
