Test CP permalink: https://fattyres.co.uk/category/test-cp/ (this works)

Updated Text CP permalink: https://fattyres.co.uk/category/test-cp-support/ (this also works)

Ok so this led me to some more ideas to try, so my permalink for example:

https://fattyres.co.uk/blog/announce/ (does not work)

I tried

https://fattyres.co.uk/announce/ (works!)
https://fattyres.co.uk/blog-categories/announce/ (works!)

So there appears to be an issue with including /blog/ in the path.
My main blog path is at https://fattyres.co.uk/blog/ so maybe there’s some conflict here.

So I try temporarily changing my main blog permalink to:
https://fattyres.co.uk/blog1/

and now my category permalink:
https://fattyres.co.uk/blog/announce/
works fine!

So I’ve narrowed down the issue, but now need to know how to have both of the above permalinks working together.

EDIT:
Extra observation, I do not have this problem elsewhere in my site. For example the two custom permalinks:
https://fattyres.co.uk/routes/
https://fattyres.co.uk/routes/lake-district/
Work fine together. These both point to pages.

@sasiddiqui it’s ok I’ve been working on something else anyway. Coming back to this issue now and no it is not resolved. Let me try your suggestion.

I checked category permalinks and they are there.

I’m redirecting with a plugin, 404 solution. I’ve disabled this now if you want to see but have the same issue.

However, this issue is worse than I thought, I created the page, added a permalink and it worked. I then changed the permalink and it stopped working. Reverting to the previous permalink doesn’t fix it either.

So it’s not just categories, it’s anything new.

I’ll try disabling other plugins again in case I missed anything first time.

EDIT: I was wrong, one of the two new pages is working fine but the other one doesn’t – bizarre.

EDIT AGAIN: Sorry that was due to a typo (I had put a double // at the end), page permalinks are working fine, just the categories that are not working.

I got it, share the link instead. Screenshot: https://fattyres.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/editcategoryss.jpg

Thanks for the reply, it is the default categories. I’ll share the screenshot as soon as I work out how to attach a file, give me a moment.

Which table, by the way, are category permalinks stored in? I assumed termsmeta but I can’t find them anywhere.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I don’t have a cache plugin and do no use Cloudfare but clearing the browser cache resolved my issue thank you.

I do use custom permalinks though, could this cause a problem too?

I came here with the same problem, I see it may be added as a feature in the future.

In the meantime my only workaround, in case it helps you, is to use images sized to the same height as the post slider as my featured image. I can get away with this on my site because I don’t display featured images on my posts (instead I insert an image separately).

Even then, for some reason the image was offset, only displaying the bottom half of the image in the control. So I got around this by adding the following to my custom css:

.ultp-block-slider-wrap img {
padding-top: 350px;
}

Result is here: fattyres.co.uk on the home page.

It’s not perfect but it will do until the feature is built into the plugin.

Update on this. I’ve tried a different browser and the redirect works fine so I’m guessing this is caching issue. Does that sound about right?

This has been fixed. Turns out my DNS cache needed flushing and it was reverting to an old non-wordress site.

I fixed this using custom CSS with the !important property.

Edit: I meant to write ‘custom marker’

Tried it and so far it works perfectly, thank you so much!
