 Since updating to 4.9.1, my site's category links no longer work.  I have
 verified that it was this update that caused the issue. I had a copy of
 the site on Staging prior to the update and the category links work fine.
 I updated the staging site to 4.9.1 and the category links no longer
 worked.  Then I reverted it back again and they worked again.

 I have also gone through and deactivated plugins one by one and nothing
 made a difference.  The only change that made any difference was the 4.9.1
 update.

 What happens is that we get a 404 error when we go to any of our category
 pages.  Example:  https://scubadiverlife.com/category/blog/news/

 for comparison, this is the staging site without the 4.9.1 update.
