Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

Could you please login to this sandbox site and upload the "No Category Base" plugin? (hidden link)

After that, please create a category and translate it to replicate the issue. If the issue is replicable, please let me know how to reproduce it.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for your update. Could you please check if the issue persists in a minimal environment by following these steps?

1- Deactivate all the plugins except the active plugins on the sandbox.
2- Switch to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-one.
3- Go to Settings-> Permalinks, and resave the settings.

If the issue is gone, activate them one by one to see which one is causing an interaction issue.

❌ Please backup your database before performing the above test ❌

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Could you please let me know how to check the issue on your site?

Also, I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

Your next answer will be private, which means only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for the access details. I checked the issue and found that the category slug is translated, while it shouldn't be translated with the "Show the categories prefix in the slug" option disabled in Yoast.

So I deleted the translation in order to fix the issue. Could you please check the categories and let me know if they work correctly in all languages? (hidden link)

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

I activated WPML plugins, and the posts work correctly. (Kindly check the attached screenshot)

Please note that the [No Category Base (WPML)] plugin is not a WPML plugin and was not developed by our team. Please visit our downloads page to see the official WPML plugins. (https://wpml.org/account/downloads/)

Best regards,
Osama
