it’s not that it links to a blog post. It links to something that LOOKS like a blog post.

The link in my original question is an example of the problem I’m having. If you go to the link, you’ll see that it looks like a blog post, with a “read more” tag, but the image is a book cover, and the “read more” doesn’t actually go anywhere.

Here is the screenshot of my permalinks: https://snipboard.io/CrKglk.jpg
Here is the screenshot of the category issue: https://snipboard.io/cOFlq7.jpg

I’m about to go to a “catalogue” type shop, because this is super frustrating. I hope you can fix it. I sell many different things, so without being able to sort by category, I’ll be losing customers. Or not even getting them to begin with. Thank you!

OK thank you. I do believe I have a cache plugin so that would explain it. I appreciate your help!

Thank you. I’m not sure what happened, but everything suddenly started showing up. Does the plugin take time after optimizing for images to begin showing again?

I’ve been using the Decent WordPress theme, which recommends the plugin Blog Manager. That plugin is what was causing the conflict. I’ve uninstalled it, which so far is not affecting the theme at all, and I have not had an issue since. Thank you so much for your help. You can close this topic as resolved, and I hope it helps others!

I appreciate your help! I’ll try this and keep you updated on the result. Please don’t mark this as resolved just yet, as I’d like to reply with what was causing the conflict so others will have the information. Thank you!

Here’s the report. Thanks in advance for your help!
