    Hello,

    The issue you’re describing seems to be related to permalink settings and how WordPress handles the structure of URLs. Here’s a revised version of your text with grammatical and structural improvements:

    I previously had URLs like this:

    domain.com/category/my-custom-category-name

    When I checked this URL: domain.com/category/, it returned a 404 error.

    After that, I changed the permalink settings in the “Category Base” section to a single dot (.). This removed “category” from the URLs, and they changed to:

    domain.com/my-custom-category-name

    However, these new URLs are still returning a 404 error!

    I updated the .htaccess file, but the 404 issue persists.

    Maybe you can try some free plugins like this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/ with an option to remove the “category” base properly?

    What categories are we talking about here? Do you use WooCommerce and these are product categories?

    Check whether you have a caching plugin and deactivate it to rule it out as the cause.

    Check whether you are really using an Apache web server. If it is an nginx, no .htaccess file is used and the configuration for the URLs should be done in the nginx server configuration. Talk to your hoster’s support team about this.

    Also check under Tools > Site Health to see if you see any anomalies there.
