Permalink broken

  • Hello there,
    Since the last update to WordPress 5.3, the links to every page for the website of my client (https://www.cabinet-hypnose-la-rochelle.fr/) are all broken.
    The permalink settings are “postname” are properly configured /%postname%/ but then the URL is transformed:
    – a question mark is added at the beginning
    – the end slash is transformed into %2F

    If I change the permalink structure to “simple”, then every page from the menu works, but not the ones referred to by links inside the page contents.

    It really happened the day where the wordpress install was updated.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    No underfortunately, it is a shared hosting I can’t create a test environment.
    I already tried disabling all widgets but it didn’t fix the problem.

    use chrome’s private mode without changing the page, your permalink is this https://www.cabinet-hypnose-la-rochelle.fr/arret-tabac-la-rochelle/ ?
    https://www.cabinet-hypnose-la-rochelle.fr/wp-admin/post.php?post=27&action=edit

    when you pass the mouse it shows you the permalink for that page
    I can’t see the page even with page_id=27 (my browser redirect your homepage) if I have cached the browser, so I recommend the private mode of the chrome browser.
    in cpanel or plugin are you writing old url in new url? Is your Nginx server under the apache server?

    I’ve set all permalinks to simple for the moment, and updated all inner links to ?page_id=XXX format because I needed the site to be up.
    If I use Chrome’s private mode, everything works fine with ?page_id.
    As for the server, I think it runs under Apache (the provider actually uses Plesk).

    You currently have two problems. 1) Each non-existent path is transformed into a query string (either a page or other) 2) Currently the browser (without Chrome private mode) cache makes a redirect to the homepage on any article. If you create a redirect loop in the htaccess file, do you get stuck?

    Redirect 301 / https://yourdomain.com/

    https://www.cabinet-hypnose-la-rochelle.fr/fantastic_url/ does not generate an error 404 instead turns it into a query string, do you use plugins to handle 404 errors?
