Urgent: Problem with Categories WordPress Not Working...

Posted on May 4, 2015

CMS

Configuration Management

When trying to view a category page, such as this one: [http://estranhos.info/category/bizarro] , I either get a 404 error or am redirected to home page or post with a similar name to the category.

How to remove this CATEGORY for menus normally open well: [http://estranhos.info/bizarro]; [http://estranhos.info/ciencia/universo/] etc.

Strangely, categories have worked previously with my blog, and permalinks for entries work just fine.

I disabled several plugins, and she returned to work briefly, but then gets swings. Can anyone help fix this? Thank you very much.

I’m not sure if this will work for you, but I tried this after all the other options failed and it worked painlessly for me.

Go to your Wordpress Dashboard, down to settings, click Permalinks.

My permalink option under the Common Settings was set to the “Custom Structure” option, so I simply clicked the “Post Name” permalink option, saved it, refreshed, and now it shows up!

Hope that helps a little.

Hello dear, very thanks for the reply. Then it worked yes, but still thus opening: estranhos.info/category/bizarro estranhos.info/category/ciencia/universo o correto é: estranhos.info/category/bizarro **estranhos.info/ciencia/universo **

I also realized that some plugins was in the way, especially plugin autoptimize and the wordpress seo but before migrating the old hostig (godaddy) it work normally… when I installing and reinstalling any plugin. So this is the problem server wordpress digital ocean ???

Another thing: still remains redirect loop error, it never happened in the old hosting. How to solve it? from what I gather is problem in the server wordpress digital ocean.

So to say: every time I want to install a new plugin, I’ll have to delete the .httacess and replace ???

I am also still working out the bugs in my Wordpress sites. Re-installing Wordpress and Re-updating plugins seems to cut down on errors. I don’t mean making a brand new WP install. Just go to wp-admin and reinstall and reupdate.

I also like Autoptimize a lot, but until I work out all the bugs, I’m keeping it off.
