I am having an issue with Subcategory pages 404ing.
Desired URL hierarchy:
- Blog =
/blog
- Category =
/blog/CAT
- Subcategory =
/blog/CAT/SUBCAT
- Post w/ Category as primary =
/blog/CAT/POST
- Post w/ Subcategory as primary =
/blog/CAT/SUBCAT/POST
Settings:
- Blog page is set to be
/blog
- Permalink structure =
/blog/%category%/%postname%/
- Category base =
empty
- Yoast SEO “Remove the categories prefix” =
Remove
Everything else is working, but the Subcategory pages are 404ing. And the actual URL that is successfully loading for the Subcategory pages is /CAT/SUBCAT
— but this is not what is linked in the sitemap or on the blog posts which are in a subcategory.
I have tried a few different combos of settings, but not successful yet. How can I resolve this issue?
