Permalinks break site

    I’m trying to change my permalinks from the default to something more user friendly but can’t seem to get any of the options in WP to work. My categories and products all throw a “Not found” error. I’ve Googled around and searched on this forum about the issue but haven’t found any solutions yet. I created this site, added some categories and products and have installed some different plugins, none of which I think should be interfering with permalinks that I know of.

    I just want my home page to have product categories displayed with some static content above them. The home page is basically a lead in to my shop page. I want people to first see the categories and choose one.

    When I try setting the home page as my shop page in WooCommerce it shows the actual products instead of categories. Conversely, the default setup shows categories but they won’t link to the proper place when I change the permalinks. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Here is a list of what I’m using:

    WordPress 4.9.6
    WooCommerce 3.4.3
    WooCommerce Subscriptions
    WooCommerce Address Validation
    WooCommerce Cost of Goods
    WooCommerce Distance Rate Shipping
    WooCommerce Dropshipping
    WooCommerce Email Customizer
    WooCommerce Subscribe All the Things
    WooCommerce Sequential Order Numbers Pro
    WooCommerce Product Enquiry Form
    WooCommerce Print Invoices/Packing Lists
    WooCommerce Order Status Manager
    WooCommerce Order Status Control
    User Switching
    UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore
    Homepage Control
    Calculated Fields Form
    Catch IDs

    Hi there,

    You’ve mentioned that when you set the Shop page as your homepage it shows products instead of categories.

    This can be changed in Appearance >> Customize >> WooCommerce >> Product Catalog.

    You’ve also mentioned you’ve changed permalinks – did you introduce the changes in “Common” or “Optional” section in Settings >> Permalinks? What did you change them to?
