I have a website/blog setup with WordPress.
Under Settings > Permalinks, I’m using a “Custom structure”:
http://mywebsite.com/%category%/%postname%
And my .htaccess :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
What does work:
- Single posts
- Pages
- Categories (e.g.
http://mywebsite.com/blog)
What does NOT work:
- Category sub-pages (e.g.
http://mywebsite.com/blog/page/2– when clicking the “Older Posts” link)
What’s going on? Is there any other way (aside from the… pretty permalink above, to access the subpages under some category – e.g. by category ids, etc?)
WordPress searches for a post with slug page in category blog, but can not find it and return 404.
There is only one workaround – manually create rewrite rules, so it can work as you expect.
