Dear forum users and support!
I have a problem with pagination – I’ve found out using on-page.org that I have some 404’s on my site that are linked from other internal sites. For example:
https://www.startingthingsup.com/category/inspirations/kickstarter-daily/gadgets/ should not be paginated, although it somehow is – you can actually open this site:
https://www.startingthingsup.com/category/inspirations/kickstarter-daily/gadgets/page/2
I checked the source and it has a link to the next page:
https://www.startingthingsup.com/category/inspirations/kickstarter-daily/gadgets/page/3
I think, that it might be connected to the theme that is used there – Newspaper.
Please, can you help me solving this case? I really have no idea what to do…
I will be thankful for any responses.
Hello Emil.Gorczyca,
I have inspected your website and I saw that your Category pagination does not work, right? Do you have enough post for your category to be paged? If yes, please try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme core file and rule out any conflicting plugins. Clear all your caches and check the results. After doing this, you should try to re-save your permalinks and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
It is not exactly what I meant. I will try to explain it once again.
I crawled the page and found out, that there are some 404 errors. I’ve looked into it and found out, that all of the pages that are turning the 404 are pages wrongly paginated. Let’s take an example of page of category “gadgets” – https://www.startingthingsup.com/category/inspirations/kickstarter-daily/gadgets/
This page should not be paginated, however you can actually open it’s “second page”
https://www.startingthingsup.com/category/inspirations/kickstarter-daily/gadgets/page/2/
In page 2 source you can find a referral to the next page <link rel=”next” href=”https://www.startingthingsup.com/category/inspirations/kickstarter-daily/gadgets/page/3/”>
And the problem is, that this page should NOT be paginated. This problem appears in 3 more category pages…
Thank you for a quick reply.
Hello,
This pagination issue is a well known WordPress issue. This happens because of WordPress not the theme. Please switch to a wp default theme and the pagination will still be present. The theme has no influence over this unfortuantely. Even on our theme demo, you can simply type in any number after the “page” in the url and there will not be a 404 error.
This url is still valid:
https://www.startingthingsup.com/category/inspirations/kickstarter-daily/gadgets/page/9223372036854775807/
It is the way wordpress handles it’s content and permalinks.
Thank you!
