Remove category base

Hello @unknownman888,

Thank you for contacting support.

When that happens are you able to fix it by flushing the permalinks? If that’s the case it seems that the permalinks on the website are not sticking and you could implement a simple code snippet to flush them on a consistent basis.

Here’s an example of that code:
add_action('my_hourly_event', 'do_this_hourly');

functionmy_activation() {
if( !wp_next_scheduled( 'my_hourly_event') ) {
wp_schedule_event(time(), 'hourly', 'my_hourly_event');
}
}

add_action('wp', 'my_activation');

functiondo_this_hourly() {
global$wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

Hello @unknownman888,

In that case, please head over to your WordPress dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and save the settings without changing anything.

You may also try implementing the code that we shared previously. You may refer to this guide on how to add filters to your website: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

If that doesn’t work, please ask your hosting provider to increase the limits of these values to the one listed below:

PHP Memory Limit: 512M
Max input time: 150
PHP time limit: 120
PHP max input variables: 1000

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello @unknownman888,

Can you please confirm if you have added the code we shared here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/remove-category-base-2/#post-16370472

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello @unknownman888,

If this is happening on a staging website you can add the code there and test for a couple of days and see if that helps solve the issue.

In case it helps, you can then add the same on the live website.

Thank you.
