Hi, ok please check below, otherwise as I mentioned our blog working perfectly with yoast 21.8. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdn3tk9k1l5h8qj/Screenshot%202024-02-21%20at%2021.43.38.png?dl=0

Linking to my case of the same issue – not sure if they can be merged by an admin.

Thanks for the helpful screenshot, @tmora. I believe you might be impacted by a bug fix in v22.0 where using a?blog?prefix in the permalink structure with?Strip category base?enabled would prevent the blog page from being accessible.

Another user has opened a bug report for our product team to revisit that bug fix. Please join the conversation by commenting on how it has impacted you negatively.

Thanks!

@aramshaw Thanks for your comment, but I have no idea how can I help.

As I said with your plugin 21.8 everything works fine.

Can you fix this issue? Thanks

@tmora – I can’t fix the issue. I was just raising it on your thread for Yoast’s review.

@aramshaw Hi Adam, did you manage to solve the problem? @maybellyne

We tried installing the latest version of Yoast and the problem persists. Yoast representatives are still unresponsive ??

@tmora – I did manage to solve the issue but Yoast decided that the functionality was “intended” not a bug so they didn’t change their code.

See here for all the details: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/21164

My fix required adding some code to the functions.php file. Email me at [email protected] if you would like to see the code I used – I’d rather not put it here because its for our very specific requirements.

@maybellyne

Did you fix that issue already?? We are still on 21.8 version. I would appreciate better communication, thank you
