    I was also sure to go to “Settings” -> “Permalinks” in the WordPress sidebar and hit “Save Changes” to avoid 404 errors. That didn’t work for me, evenafter clearing cache.

    I finaly went through the MySQL database and made a change there:
    UPDATEwp_yoast_indexableSETpermalink= 'https://<site-domain>/faqs/' WHEREwp_yoast_indexable.id= 439;
    That was still set to ufaqs. I don’t know why it doesn’t do that automatically. First time again since a very long time I looked in my MySQL database.

    I found this topic due an issue I have. It looks related to this topic.

    In general settings I changed the FAQ Slug Base to read “faqs”.
    My goal was the following urls:
    https<sitename>/faqs/ <- this works, all faqs listed, fetched from all categories (happy)
    https<sitename>/faqs/category/ <- this gives a 404 page, /ufaq-category/category/ works (not so happy)
    https<sitename>/faqs/single-post/ <- this works, /ufaq-category/single-post/ gives a 404 page (happy)

    So I get two issues:
    1. Why is the category not respecting the FAQ Slug Base setting?
    2. Why is the canonical url not respecting the FAQ Slug Base?
    This issue only happens to the url https<sitename>/faqs/ that shows a canonical url https<sitename>/ufaqs/ and that location gives a 404 page

    Since url and its canonical url are delicate to change to often, especially when they are longer in use. I prefer not to update code to avoid loosing a configuration as soon you update the plugin.

    Please give me advice on the best approach to change my url, also because my website is mainly in the language Dutch I would like to have the ability making such changes.

    Thanks in advance, the plugin is much appreciated!
