page 2 of products is not found (404) when not using plain permalinks

Hello tachshitbemilel,

Thank you for contacting Woo support.

The problem you’re describing, where pages beyond the first return a 404 error, is likely related to how your server handles permalinks. This issue is typically tied to server misconfiguration, specifically software like Apache or Nginx that manages your permalinks.

To better understand the situation, could you share your site’s System Status Report?
This will help me review the server configuration details and pinpoint the exact cause.

Looking forward to your response. ??

Best regards.

Hello tachshitbemilel,

You can go through permalink settings page,

Flush Permalinks:

. Go to Settings > Permalinks.

. Simply click Save Changes without modifying anything. This will force
WordPress to regenerate the rewrite rules.

Thank you.

Saving the permalinks without changing anything doesn’t work unfortunatly

Hello tachshitbemilel,

Thank you for your reply.

After reviewing the SSR of your site I noticed that you are using Apache Server.
I would have suggested the same step as Syed Tarikul Islam has, resaving the permalinks.

But since it is not working either, then means something is wrong with the “.htaccess” file stored on the root directory of your WordPress installation.

Could you access the file via your Webhost portal or FTP?
Then copy the contents of the .htaccess file and share it with me.

Then follow these steps:
1- Open the permalinks settings page.
2- Delete the .htaccess file.
3- Click save on the permalinks settings page.

Please follow the steps in the same order.
Then check for the newly created .htaccess file.
Share the contents of that file with me too.

Let me know how it goes. ??

Best regards.

I also tried to turn off translatePress plugin which is what I use to allow two languages in my website, this weirdly solved the problem for a couple of minutes but after a few refreshes I am now getting the same 404 page unfound error again.

Hi @tachshitbemilel,

Thank you for sharing further details on this.

I was able to notice that your link was using a translated version. Are you able to rename your permalinks to English and save the changes, then try again to see if the issue permits?

Let us know how it goes.

I’m a bit confused about what you mean, I changed everything to english, but as it was before, the first page works

https://tachshitbmilel.com/product-category/rings/

but the second page doesn’t

https://tachshitbmilel.com/product-category/rings/page/2/

Hi @tachshitbemilel

The issue you’re experiencing seems to be caused by a conflict with the TranslatePress plugin. Since turning it off momentarily fixed the problem, it’s likely that this plugin is interfering with your site’s permalinks.

It’s possible that the plugin is not properly translating the URLs for the second and subsequent pages of your product listings. This could be why you see a 404 error when accessing these pages.

This is a third-party plugin, and we don’t provide help & support for 3rd-party plugins or themes as they’re outside our support scope. I recommend contacting the TranslatePress support team for assistance. They may have a solution or workaround for this issue.

In the meantime, try deleting your .htaccess file, then navigate to Settings > Permalink and click on “Save changes” to flush your permalink. This should flush your permalink settings. Once done, head over to WooCommerce → Status → Tools, and do the following:

• WooCommerce transients – Clear
• Expired transients – Clear
• Clear template cache – Clear
• Capabilities – Reset Capabilities
• Clear customer sessions -Clear
• Product lookup tables – Regenerate
• Regenerate the product attributes lookup table – Regenerate

Next, please clear your browser and server cache and check again.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please let us know if you have any other questions or if there’s anything else we can assist you with.
