Category Slug Bug with Yoast and WPML

    Hello,

    I have a site in English with Yoast installed and ‘Don’t show the categories prefix in the slug’ correctly set to NO. So I don’t see the ‘category’ slug in my categories and posts. Yesterday I installed WPML to translate the site into Spanish, and only in the Spanish language categories did the ‘category’ slug appear. Do you have any idea how I can fix this? I noticed that even in the sitemap generated by Yoast, the categories in Spanish have ‘es/category/’.

    Thanks for the help. ??
    Stefano

    Hi @biomeglio

    I have tested and was unable to replicate the scnario in my local site. I noticed for other languages, the category slug doesn’t appear when disabled. Please check the screenshot.

    What is the version of your WordPress and the Yoast SEO, WPML plugins are you using? Also do you use the WPML SEO plugin?

    Please ensure you have the WPML SEO plugin which you can download from here.

    hello

    obviously I have that plugin installed, so it doesn’t depend on that. Is that all the support you can give me? it’s clearly a Yoast bug on Wpml, so you should be very interested in this…

    please help me to fix – its urgent

    Hi

    We could not replicate the same scenario when we disabled the category slug from settings. So, at this stage, I would like to request you to test the following:

    1. Can you kindly head to WordPress dashboard > Settings > Permalink and save the permalink without changing anything?
    2. If the issue exists, kindly check conflict.
      Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

      Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.

    when I receive this kind of response from a support I get depressed. do you think this is my first website? or maybe I’m a 50 year old developer who has been working for 30 years? and maybe I have to fight every day with bugs and incomplete documentation? If you have to write things like that, it’s better not to write anything at all.
