Thank you so much. I followed the steps you outlined in the previous comment and the blog functionality seems to be working perfectly now at https://amylu-riley.com/blog

Thank you! I appreciate your perseverance and kindness in helping me with this!

Ben,

As you suggested, I checked with the hosting company again. Their response is below.

I don’t want to try to fix this outstanding by reverting to a site backup, since I have made so many micro changes to so many pages recently; it would be easier to rebuild the blog. You mentioned the possibility of a WordPress issue with the category’s name being “blog.” I wonder if you could suggest a workaround for that potential issue; for example:
1. Is there another way to structure the blog within the Author theme that avoids using the category name “blog” (and would still allow the word “blog” to show up in the main navigation menu, that would navigate to the blog main landing page).
2. Is there another theme other than Author theme that offers a blog landing page and individual detail pages for individual blog entries that doesn’t have this WordPress issue with the category name?

I would appreciate your suggestions. Thank you for all your help with this.

Hosting company response:
“I looked into the issue in detail but to no avail. Everything on the hosting end is set up as it should be. Your site has proper .htaccess file (ea RewriteBase), the posts exist and are accessible individually and the permalinks have been set properly.

Usually, those URLs and pages are controlled by the WordPress Permalinks but even after resetting them the second and third pages don’t want to show up properly.

This suggests some underlying application-related issue.”

Ben,

I uninstalled the category pagination fix plugin.

I replaced the .htaccess file’s contents with the code you provided. The site still had the exact same problem of 404 errors on https://amylu-riley.com/blog/page/2/ and https://amylu-riley.com/blog/page/3/

So I put the original .htaccess file contents back.

I’ve used that custom permalink structure for a long time, months or years. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a problem with it.

I tried applying the “post name” structure in Settings > Permalinks, and that made the main blog page (amylu-riley.com/blog/) ALSO return a 404 error (which it previously had not been), so I put it back to the Custom permalink structure.

I reinstalled WordPress.

Still getting the fatal error when I go to https://amylu-riley.com/blog/page/2/:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function split() in /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/category-pagination-fix/category-pagefix.php:39 Stack trace: #0 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(288): remove_page_from_query_string(Array) #1 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(206): WP_Hook->apply_filters(Array, Array) #2 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php(378): apply_filters(‘request’, Array) #3 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php(729): WP->parse_request(”) #4 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php(1255): WP->main(”) #5 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-blog-header.php(16): wp() #6 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/index.php(17): require(‘/home/customer/…’) #7 {main} thrown in /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/category-pagination-fix/category-pagefix.php on line 39

I have not yet uninstalled the category pagination fix plugin.

Ben,

I installed the plugin you specified. It did not fix the problem.

Now, instead of getting a 404 error when I go to https://amylu-riley.com/blog/page/2/, it gives the following “fatal error” message:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function split() in /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/category-pagination-fix/category-pagefix.php:39 Stack trace: #0 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(288): remove_page_from_query_string(Array) #1 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(206): WP_Hook->apply_filters(Array, Array) #2 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php(378): apply_filters(‘request’, Array) #3 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php(729): WP->parse_request(”) #4 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php(1255): WP->main(”) #5 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-blog-header.php(16): wp() #6 /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/index.php(17): require(‘/home/customer/…’) #7 {main} thrown in /home/customer/www/amylu-riley.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/category-pagination-fix/category-pagefix.php on line 39

Ben,

1. I temporarily deactivated all of the plugins on the site.
2. Once all of the plugins were deactivated, I visited the Permalinks menu and clicked the Save button.
3. I then visited the blog pages but they still did not load correctly (exactly same problem as before).
