Problem with Category Slugs

Hi david,

thanks for using qts! i’m glad that you’re happy!

Assuming that es is your default language, do you also get a 404 on https://www.mysite.com/this-is-english/ ?

about the issue.. i need to review the rewrite rules to fix that. but i can’t say when..

Hey Pedro,

thank you for your fast response!

Exactly! In this example, spanish is the standard language and your url would bring out a 404.

No problem, just wanted to report the issue. In my case this would kill my SEO while indexing pages which shouldn’t exist. The Sitemap (Yoast) is working fine and the categories are showing up properly there by the way! ??

Best,
David

Great! ??

thanks for reporting!

Hey Pedro,

there i am again ??

i now tried to display my posts on pages instead of using categories. I could just hide the categories from being displayed in search-engines but:

lets say i have created the categories (and added a subcategory) above as pages.

this would be the main-url:

https://www.mysite.com/spanish-cat-as-page/spanish-sub-cat-as-page/

these urls are (but shouldn’t be) accessable:
note: main site is spanish and languages are displayed like this mysite.com/en/ for english and mysite.com/fr/ for french for example)

mysite.com/english-cat-as-page/english-sub-cat-as-page/ (can be opened even without /en/ after mysite.com)
while:
mysite.com/en/spanish-cat-as-page/spanish-sub-cat-as-page/ gives out a 404 (means it works)

another one:
mysite.com/spanish-cat-as-page/english-sub-cat-as-page/ can be opened while:
mysite.com/en/english-cat-as-page/spanish-sub-cat-as-page/ gives out a 404 (works).

I hope that helps! ??
Best,
David
