Archive use case broken in 3.4

[iridox]

When using custom permalinks with the structure /%category%/post, I used to be able to point my browser at .com/catname to get the archive as well as /category/catname.

That does not seem to work anymore with 3.4. Wordpress now simply redirecs the request to a random tag that fuzzy matches the uri.

Could you give an example category hierarchy and URL that is failing for you? It works for me. Also can you confirm that the structure is /%category%/%postname%/

Probably related to #19876.

Also try disabling plugins too as there could be interference somewhere.

This was fixed in 3.4.1 - closing.
