I’m using utf8 urls (Hebrew) and encountered a weird behavior.
Reaching the website and browsing between pages works perfectly.
But copying the url and pasting it to a different tab will get you to a 404 page.
Also all links that are indexed by google shows 404 errors
This problem occurs only on the woo-commerce category links and i should mention that im using a plugin to remove the category base from the url.
How can i solve this ?
You can view the behavior on http://thj.360.co.il/
You may need to update your permalink structure again in settings. Just save the page again so it updates htaccess.
Pay attention that the link in hebrew parsed differently from the link that works:

As you see in the second link all the letters are capitalized…
