I started to think I must be going crazy.
Also having the same issue. I get it working, then the next time I check, it doesn’t!
Will try the stripping plugin.
***************************************************************
WP: 3.4.1
Yoast SEO 1.2.5
What I expect:
Strip /category/
What happens:
Doesn’t strip /category/ and leads to 404 pages. However, the original link that includes /category/ DOES work.
Problem Website:
Squarespace Plugins
