Perfect. Thanks!

Yeah, it does that on the comments, but not on the original message. I have tried in Chrome, FireFox, and IE. That edit link does not appear.

Hi @clifton11221. As soon as I submitted and reread the message, I saw that and wanted to edit the paths. But I don’t see a way to edit or delete in this forum. It appears all I can do is add and edit replies, but not the original!

If you know how, please let me know. Thanks.

Turns out that putting the checkmark back in the “strip the category base” option works too. The secret was to hit save within the plugin, after the wordpress upgrade. I just tested on another site… did the upgrade, went into the plugin, clicked save settings. Everything works fine.

Wow, that’s awesome! I put the check back on the option, clicked Save, and all is well. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did find the culprit. Within the settings of the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin, there is a Permalinks section. One of the options is “Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL”. That was checked.

So, while domain.com/category-slug used to work prior to 3.4.1, that results in a 404 error now. Turning off the option means the URL is domain.com/category/category-slug now.

Of course, I’m not sure why it used to work the other way, nor why it no longer does, but at least I found the cause. ??

Wow, found the problem. One of my widgets was screwing things up. How is that even possible? Oh well, glad to have the answer. If anyone else see this problem, try removing widgets one at a time. The problem for me was with “recent posts plus”.

Title code is OK. Clearing with CTRL-F5 makes no difference.

To add more details, the title that appears most frequently is the title of the first post created. If I turn that post back into a draft, then the title that gets displayed on various pages is really the title of the second oldest post. Once the original is republished, it once again represents the title that gets used most frequently.

I can also confirm that I am using %%title%% as the code. If I turn off rewrite then normal blog name and titles get displayed.
