Categories not displaying properly on desktop after update

Hi team,

After switching to 12.6.8 – our categories have completely barfed (they worked under 12.6.6). While the big grid still works a treat, and so does our sidebar, the two columns are all over the shop. Here’s a link: https://www.exhaustnotes.com.au/motoring-news/

I’m happy to go back to 12.6.6 if need be, to make stuff work properly, but a fix would be great. I’ve tried the usual things already, including flushing the caches for WP Rocket, and both our SiteGround caches, but to no avail. I even tried re-opening the design in Composer and saving it again, just in case that fixed it, but again, to no avail.

I’ll hold off updating our second site (on its own licence), to beyond .6 for now, until this is resolved.

Hello!

If you use the same template for your categories, they will look the same.
Can you please provide more information about your issue?

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

Our layout is correctly configured when you go into edit the page layout, or are logged in as admin (which is two columns x 10 stories (20 in total)), but when you are visiting as a non-logged in user, the stories appear all over the place (different sizes, single column, no formatting).

I’ve emailed you guys some screenshots via the email we have for support.

Cheers,
Mark

Hello Mark!

Make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.

Let me know the results!

Thank you!

It appears Yoast SEO standard/premium is causing the issue (that’s a bit of a problem). With Yoast deactivated, it seems to be stable at showing the Category pages properly now, but having no SEO is a bit of a genuine problem.

Actually that’s not the case, it’s stopped working again. It did work for a moment. Now it throws 404 errors when Yoast is turned off.

Hello Mark!

Please make sure you use the latest theme and plugin updates. If the problem is not solved, you can contact them to have it checked. Our theme should work well with the Yoast SEO plugin. Double-check the settings you’ve applied there.

Thank you!
