This is the normal behaviour. Always has been, and it has nothing to do with the theme. It's necessary because otherwise WordPress wouldn't know whether a request for /emp-digital/ is for a post with that name, or a category. Note that the custom permalink structure /%category%/%postname%/ is for posts. The posts will have the path /categoryname/postname but if you view the category itself it has its own path with /category/ at the beginning.
