wordpress 3.8.1 category page 2 error 404 not found / custom post type

first the problem, then the tries.

Problem

The problem is that i get a 404 NOT FOUND error if i visit another page than the first category page.
On the category page i have a normal pagination. The first site works. (http://mypage.com/category/properties)

After i click on the “Next page” button I’m on the page http://mypage.com/category/properties/page/2 and got the error 404 NOT FOUND.

But why?

Tries

First I tried this Question Custom Post Type and Taxonomy pagination 404 error, but the exclude_from_search and the queries below doesnt work.

I tried this, too. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-again-page-not-found-on-second-and-further-pages
But the query_posts try has the same result as the WP_Query try.

The event with the pre query i tried, too. But the problem is the same -.-

Example / PHP

<?php

/* /srv/www/mypage/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/category-1.php */

global $wp_query;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array_merge($wp_query->query, array(
    'posts_per_page' => 4,
    'post_type' => 'property',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'meta_key' => 'property_typ',
    'meta_value' => 'Rent',
    'category_name' => null
));

$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);

echo '<ul>';
while (have_posts())
{
    the_post();
    echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink(get_the_id()) . '">'
         . get_the_title() . '</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';

echo paginate_links(array(
    'base' => str_replace(99999, '%#%', esc_url(get_pagenum_link(99999))),
    'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
    'format' => '?paged=%#%',
    'current' => max(1, get_query_var('paged'))
));

  1. Try this, it should work.had similar problem

     <?php
            // Display pagination
            global $wp_query;
            $pagination_args = array(
                'base' => '%_%',
                'format' => '?' . $query_string . '&paged=%#%',
                'current' => max(1, get_query_var('paged')),
                'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
                'type' => 'array'
            );
    
            $pagination = paginate_links($pagination_args);
    
    $big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
    
    
    $links .= paginate_links(array(
      'base' => str_replace($big, '%#%', esc_url(get_pagenum_link($big))),
      'format' => '?' . $query_string . '&paged=%#%&keyword='.$keyword,
      'current' =>max(1, get_query_var('paged')),
      'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
    ));
    echo $links;
            ?>
    
  2. I had the same problem with my custom post taxonomies pagination. Older posts page was coming with a 404 page not found. This issue is related to WP taxonomy slug so you have to rewrite rules for your custom post type taxonomies like this below:

    function generate_taxonomy_rewrite_rules( $wp_rewrite ) {
    
        $rules = array();
    
        $post_types = get_post_types( array( 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false ), 'objects' );
        $taxonomies = get_taxonomies( array( 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false ), 'objects' );
    
        foreach ( $post_types as $post_type ) {
            $post_type_name = $post_type->name;
            $post_type_slug = $post_type->rewrite['slug'];
    
            foreach ( $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) {
                if ( $taxonomy->object_type[0] == $post_type_name ) {
                    $terms = get_categories( array( 'type' => $post_type_name, 'taxonomy' => $taxonomy->name, 'hide_empty' => 0 ) );
                    foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
                        $rules[$post_type_slug . '/' . $term->slug . '/?$'] = 'index.php?' . $term->taxonomy . '=' . $term->slug;
                        $rules[$post_type_slug . '/' . $term->slug . '/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$'] = 'index.php?' . $term->taxonomy . '=' . $term->slug . '&paged=' . $wp_rewrite->preg_index( 1 );
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    
        $wp_rewrite->rules = $rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
    
    }
    
    add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'generate_taxonomy_rewrite_rules');
    

    This should work for all custom post type taxonomies and just use your default query loop without passing any arguments. Pages will be generated based on General -> Reading.
