Thank you so much! Seems like my issues have been fixed. It feels soooo good to be able to publish a post in 5 minutes, not 2 hours LOL

I followed your suggestion and while in troubleshooting mode, reenabled the plugin one by one together with AMP and Health Check

And I was not able to replicate the errors that have been plaguing me when I was not in Troubleshooting mode. I published 2 posts and edited the articles and added internal links to the articles — and for all of them the editing and publishing went smoothly

OH WOW! I was actually able to post an article in 5 minutes, as compared to my 2 hour time to actually post one piece.

Just want to clarify that when I deactivated Yoast, and the category pages were showing the homepage, the URL is still the category pages. It was not redirecting me to the homepage. But instead of the content for the category page, it showed the content for the homepage

I did the dot fix — putting a dot in the category base for the permalink custom structure /%category%/%postname% and that fixed the issue and removed the word “category” in the category URLs.

I am using SEO features of the Genesis theme instead of Yoast. Yoast has given me loads of apprehension in terms of updates and whether it will play nice with other plugins

We use Simple 301 Redirect plugin but it is not configured to redirect 404 to the homepage. And we don’t have 404 Redirect to Homepage plugin installed in our site.

We do have the feature of Yoast to remove the category prefix.

I set Yoast to not remove /category/ and yes, the category pages remained.

Having the same problems.

I logged into FTP hoping to download the backups from there, but the backup folder disappeared as well as the plugin from the plugin directory of my WordPress. Glad that there will be a fix on Monday.

Thank you for the quick response.

Yes, I do have the facebook open graph protocol plugin.

I will do as you suggested

Much appreciated

Can you please contact me? Can’t login after brute force attack. I can get to the screen, but when I try to login, it gives me to a different page

Just what do you think you are doing, Dave?
Open the Pod bay doors, HAL!

I got the problem fixed by using the code below for URL rewrite and putting it in functions.php. Thanks to another WordPress user who contacted me directly

add_action('init','yoursite_init');
function yoursite_init() {
  global $wp_rewrite;
		//add rewrite rule.
                add_rewrite_rule("author/([^/]+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$",'index.php?author_name=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]','top');
                add_rewrite_rule("(.+?)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$",'index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]','top');
                $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(false);
}
