 * Hi
    A strange bug in category removal in version 6 has occurred to me. When I
   delete category in the plugin settings, on sitemap, all links work well and clicking
   on each link will open the thread. But when the site is mapped to google webmaster
   I submit all the category links to the 404 error.

 * This issue typically occurs due to cache. Please, flush your site-specific cache
   and server level cache. Once you clear the cache correctly, please resubmit the
   sitemap to Google search console property and which should resolve this issue.
 * Notice that once you resubmit the sitemap, it may take a little while to see 
   the updated changes. So, we recommend you to please wait at least 24 hours after
   resubmitting the sitemap.

 * Hello
    What you said did, but it still has a problem. Previous links that contain
   the category when indexed again gives 404 error. The URL does not work at all.
   Google has issued this warning.

 * When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs
   were not accessible to Googlebot due to an HTTP status error. All accessible 
   URLs will still be submitted.

 * All the links in
    [http://3dspro.ir/category-sitemap.xml](http://3dspro.ir/category-sitemap.xml)
   They have the same problem. Just add /category/ them to the beginning: [http://3dspro.ir/category/پلاگین-نرم-افزارها/پلاگین-مایا/](http://3dspro.ir/category/پلاگین-نرم-افزارها/پلاگین-مایا/)
   The redirects are not executed correctly and give the error address 404. Because
   the Google Index has already indexed its index again, it returns an error of 
   404 when it re-indexes.
