Issue with categories pagination

I noticed that not all posts are showing up in the category listings, they show up fine under if using the pagination for the whole site, I switched back to the my old theme, and everything appears fine.

for example this is the last page of my posts

http://thehomesteadingboards.com/page/58/

you can see the last post for recipe category should be a different way to bottle wine

if you check the last page of the recipe category, it’s not there

http://thehomesteadingboards.com/recipes/page/14/

here is the really weird thing though, if I change the url to

http://thehomesteadingboards.com/recipes/page/15/

there are the two missing posts, it is happening on all my categories that I have seen so far, what would cause the category pagination to be incorrect?

the only way it seems to work is if I have show blog posts set to 10, anything less and posts disappear from the category list

even with set to 10, there is still missing posts

after further testing, the only way I can see all the posts through category listing is to utilize the default permalink setting, anything else and there is an issue with pagination

after further testing, it seems yoast is the problem, some reason it is conflicting with pagination. I can get everything to show if I enable category big grid, but I don’t use featured posts or the rating system, is there anyway to disable those so they don’t redirect to nothing?

Not sure if this applies, but I ran into all sorts of weird issues with the Yoast SEO setting to “remove stop words” — which I do *not* recommend.

Also avoid the setting to hide the /category/ name above the category pages as this also breaks things.

e.g., changing

mysite/category/catname

to
mysite/catname

by messing with the WP use of a category slug ahead of category name,
will cause problems.

Really!

thanks chris, I will take a look

nope, didn’t change a thing
