Description

Hello,

I have noticed an apparent problem in various sites. It has to do with the Category function. If you click on a Category, posts from that Category are not pulling up. Instead the posts appear to be the most recent posts. Or other posts not from the designated Category.

This problem is occurring on differing sites...different WordPress hosts and different WordPress Themes all running WordPress 5.7 and updated plugins...so I am wondering if there is some bug in WordPress 5.7, as I just noticed this problem so I assume it is recent.

Here is one of the sites in which the problem is occurring:

Thanks

@elmwp1 welcome back to trac!

I've attempted to reproduce this on a standard install of WordPress without any success.

Do you still get the problem if you disable all your plugins and use a bundled theme such at Twenty Twenty-One?

Thanks.

I checked the various sites in which the problem was occurring and for whatever reason now the problem no longer appears to be happening...

Thanks for your assistance...
