With the last update the permalink to category is broken, permalinks for topics are working fine. For example: category/11562 redirects to c/11562 which is incorrect, the redirect which is correctly set as destination should be c/general/4 or c/4 Could anybody help with this problem?

You created a permalink for category/11562 that used to redirect to general, but now it’s broken?

Which update branch is that from?

Correct, it used to work fine. Then, I updated to: Completly clean the DB to re-import some other forum data from scratch, and now is not working.

I added the permalinks again with the new import, it is done by the import script. But I also tried to add by hand using the web. Please, find attached a screenshot of the web and the results from DB. Maybe I’m missing something: [Screenshot 2024-03-01 at 2.12.45 PM]

Sorry, only one screenshot per post was allowed [Screenshot 2024-03-01 at 2.16.33 PM]

Your permalink is not at /category/11562 but at /forum/category/11562. My quick guess is that you lost your permalink normalizations along the way.

I do not understand if I check the response to https://preview.vaadin.com/forum/category/11562 I receive a 302 with Location: https://preview.vaadin.com/forum/c/11562 Whereas for topics for example: https://preview.vaadin.com/forum/thread/851770 I receive a 301 with Location: https://preview.vaadin.com/forum/t/tabsheet-tabs-not-displaying-properly-in-ie8-after-upgrade-to-6-7-1/173931 I expect Discourse to manage both equally, and as you can see both retain the segment /forum/

[image] pama: https://preview.vaadin.com/forum So you didn’t mention the fact that your entire forum is a subfolder install.

So I dug in a bit deeper and I don’t understand how this could have ever worked, since category/ will always trigger the categories#redirect route, and this did not recently change. get "category/*path" => "categories#redirect" EDIT the post below shows it did use to work

I think this is the problem, because I cannot repro this on tests passed as of this morning.

Can you see if the permalink is still there in your database and if it still points to the right place?
