    I am having URL issues with my site, which uses the Genesis Landscape theme. I have categories  like this:
    iBioEducation
    Exploring-biology
    Cell Biology
    Cytoskeleton
    I have created a post, and if the URL works correctly, it should look like this:

    http://www.ibiology.org/ibioeducation/exploring-biology/cell-biology/cytoskeleton/actin-polymerization.html

    But I am getting this: (there is no cell-biology-exploring-biology category so I don't know where this comes from)
    http://www.ibiology.org/ibioeducation/exploring-biology/cell-biology-exploring-biology/cytoskeleton/actin-polymerization.html

    (there is no cell-biology-exploring-biology category so I don't know where this comes from)

    If I create posts using the first and second category, it works fine, but when I make a page under the third and the fourth category then the URL goes wild. Any help will be great,

    Thank you,

    Lobsang

    It's because you've confused the categories by using a dash (-) in the category called Exploring Biology. Take the dash out of the title and only use a space. See if that will work for you.


    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.

    Thank you anitac for trying to help us! Actually we realized that the slug for the category was messed up. It was "cell-biology-exploring-biology"

    % )  Anyway, we fixed it and it is fine now.
