Monthly archives redirect to front page

Hi,
it’s not picking an archive which does that, it’s that the links to your archives are being redirected to your home ??

While on the demo site:

So could be due to a plugin? Some caching system, dunno, can you clear your sever’s/plugin’s cache?

Thanks for checking!

I have tried disabling a number of plugins, like the SEO Yoast, iThemes Security…but no luck.

I’ll see if I can identify the culprit.

Backstop: try resetting Permalinks in Dashboard>Settings

Hi, thanks. I’ve actually seen that suggestion somewhere earlier, and I have tried that. No luck, unfortunately.

There could be either some setting left over from an older plugin or one of the active ones that enforces this redirect, but I currently have no idea what it might be.

Rather than cherrypick, you need to deactivate all plugins, test, then add one-by-one until you see which is causing the problem.

Done. I’ve deactivated all plugins, and the monthly archives still redirected to the front page. (I have reactivated the plugins now.)

I can only assume that there’s a setting that was either affected (and left unchanged) by a previous plugin, or that it’s somehow due to the fact that I’m using straight permalinks (instead of ones that include the month). Although I’m not sure if the second assumption is realistic.
