After we upgraded to 2.7.0beta2, navigating to some categories is broken. When we try to access a category we get the following errors in the console:
You can try for yourself using the following links:
> [Ρεμπέτικο γλωσσάρι - Ρεμπέτικο Φόρουμ](https://rembetiko.gr/c/-/77/none)
> [Μαζώξεις - Ρεμπέτικο Φόρουμ](https://rembetiko.gr/c/-/159)

Interestingly urls for some different categories work:
> [Επικαιρότητα - Ρεμπέτικο Φόρουμ](https://rembetiko.gr/c/%CE%B5%CF%80%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%B9%CF%81%CF%8C%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%84%CE%B1/7)

Our forum is served behind cloudflare and we have setted an origin url ([https://origin.rembetiko.gr](https://origin.rembetiko.gr)) for message bus.
We disabled Cloudlfare proxying, but unfortunately the problem persists. For now, Cloudflare proxying is still disabled.
Thanks a lot in advance 🙂 The work that you do here is wonderful.

We recently merged a change to fix case sensitive slugs in order to fix a different bug. That also had to deal with categories with duplicate slugs and it may have triggered this 🤔.
If you open the category 77 and set the slug as `nil` does it fix it ?

You mean like that?
`https://rembetiko.gr/c/nil/77`
No it doesn’t work 😕

Sorry for bumping this - but is there a possible workaround for this? Those categories are still inaccessible…
Thanks again 🙂

I’d try to (temporarily) change the slug:
> [@Newly added non-ASCII category page does not load](https://meta.discourse.org/t/newly-added-non-ascii-category-page-does-not-load/158971/9):
>
> To fix the issue on my site, I went to the Rails console and ran:
>
> ```plaintext
> c = Category.find_by(name: 'exemple de catégorie')
> c.update(slug: 'exemple-de-categorie')
>
> ```
It might also be a plugin in use in these categories and not in the ones that are working 🤔

The only non-standard code that runs on some of these categories is the [discourse-category-sidebars](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-category-sidebars/107561) theme component.
This is the plugin list:
The only non-standard plugin (except for whos-online) is the [SealabsOnebox](https://github.com/rembetikogr/rebetiko-sealabs-onebox) which just produces onebox previews for a website that doesn’t support oEmbed - I can’t think that it can interfere with category loading (especially specific category loading).

Thanks for the tip, I will to try update the slugs and I will update this topic with the results. 🙂

Yes, that the exact thing I meant with setting the slugs to nil @chrispanag 🤔
```ruby
c = Category.find_by(id: 77)
c.update(slug: nil)
```
Check if the auto slug generation will fix it.
