Pagination 404 error in posts category archive template

[Jargon]

Hello,

I have searched the forum and FB community trying to solve this problem but I am almost convinced that there is no definitive solution to this.

I have created a template for displaying the default posts categories of WP. I only have normal posts that are assigned to a single category “News” for now.

Here are the template settings:

Here is my “Card” loop settings:

And here are the pagination element settings:

“Card Query” (my query above)

No matter which settings I try (“Merge…”, “Is main query”) the pagination is not working. If I set “Is main query” then there are no posts fetched at all. With any other setting when clicking on a page number on the pagination element the URL is “https://myurl.com/media/news/page/2/” and so on…and I get a 404 error since “page 2,3,4…” do not exist.

Is there a but since most of the threads I read and the suggested solutions do not work for me (i.e. matching the number of posts in WP Reading settings with those of the loop).

Any help would be appreciated.

I was in the same situation, but with Woocommerce products.

I suggest you check out this forum post!

NO BUG: 404 error in Woocommerce products archive pagination

Browser: Microsoft Edge 130 OS: Windows URL: https://novolibro.me/piacter/ The problem is solved, but I would like to post it here too, because maybe someone else will run into the error and maybe the developers will incorporate it into the code. Context: Woocommerce, 31 products, pagination. In the desktop version, 3 products are displayed per row per page, a total of 6 products per page. When pagination, 6 pages are visible. This is OK. Symptom: Pages 1-3 are paginated four times, pages …

They wrote that his is not a bug, but this is that: semantic bug.

You have to set the number of posts in the WordPress → Settings → Read page.

Unfortunately, I have tried this and it does not do the trick.

Did you set the same value in Bricks and in WordPress > Settings > Read?

[Jargon]

Yes the same => 8 posts

I didn’t solve it with a template because I want to display the query on a specific page for a specific purpose. I’m sending 3 screenshots of this. If the original 10 was specified on the WordPress > Settings > Read page (default), then the paging didn’t work well for me either.

You can watch it in action.

Yes, unfortunately this does not work in my case.

Any feedback on this? Is it a bug, something not supported or am I missing something?

I was facing the same errors on our https://liposuctiondenver.com, the problem was the site being designed with the elementor and other elementor related plugin. And this alone create 500 plus 404 pagination pages. In our case, make sure to check, how you design your category pages.

if it is being design with any plugin, deactivate it and crawl the site with the screening frog. You will get to know, weather the problem with the plugin or not.
