[Plugin: WP No Category Base] Broken Subcategory Template

Hey,

First off, thanks iDope for creating such a useful plugin.
The structure of my site is something like this

.                 domainroot
                       |
            |-------------------|
           cat1                cat2
            |
   |--------|-------|
subcat1  subcat2 subcat[...]

(I hope that doesn’t strip out all the spaces)

So, with this plugin, I can go to domainroot/cat1 rather than domainroot/category/cat1.
But when I go to domainroot/cat1/subcat1 it doesn’t work.

The problem is something to do with templates. domainroot uses home.php because it is_home(). cat1 uses category-cat1.php and cat2 uses category-cat2.php. Every other category should be using category.php.

But domainroot/cat1/subcat1 uses the wrong template.
First I had an issue with the Taxonomy template, because I had a taxonomy with the same name as the cat1 and taxonomies overrule categories.
Once I eliminated the taxonomy, it started using the home.php template. Just for testing, I eliminated home.php and it carried on through the hierarchy and used index.php. For some reason, is_home() is returning true.

I disabled then re-enabled the plugin but that had no effect.

EDIT: I don’t know what caused it, but I managed to fix it somehow. In case anyone else has the same issue:
1) Disable the plugin
2) Go to the permalink settings and press the save changes button.
3) Re-enable the plugin
4) Repeat step 2.

Works for me now.
