Hello there.
I have a custom pagination of: /%category%/%postname%/ set which is breaking our blog pagination.
Page 1 shows fine but Page 2 shows a 404 error as the link tries to go to https://www.profoundtalent.com/magazine/page/2/
I have the settings section set to load 99 articles (only way I can get all of the articles to show) so please advise if you have any ideas to get pagination to work again for us.
I need to use the custom permalinks for SEO .
Hello @headmetal,
Thanks for writing in!
Your custom permalink /%category%/%postname%/ will not work because it will be in conflict with the default category URL. Secondly, you cannot use that form of URL because a single post can be assign to several categories or sub categories.
Normal single post URL could be: https://example.com/post-name/
Paged single post URL: https://example.com/post-name/page/2/
Default category URL is: https://example.com/category/category-name/
Default page category URL is: https://example.com/category/category-name/page/2/
We highly recommend that you only use /%postname%/ as your permalink instead.
