I'm stuck with this permalink structure in WordPress, I like to have some advice from the experts in the WordPress permalink area.
I'm building a website / shop with WordPress and Woocommerce. Both the latest versions.
If a leave the permalink structure default for the website and the shop all works fine.
But the default WordPress pages will have the link structure as:
http://www.myshop.com/?page_id=25
If I change the structure to /%postname%/ the website itself works great with page links like:
http://www.myshop.com/myinformationpage
But..
The Woocommerce part however is completely broken. The products page is ok with the overview of the first shop page but every product selection will end up in a 404 error.
This is also for category's, tags en even the shop cart payment pages.
What is the way to go here?
The best way for SEO is to change the basic permalink site setting to one of the none standaard settings. But what must be done to keep the WooCommerce shop working?
I don't want to remove the /shop/ or /products/ from the WooCommerce URL.
My settings:
Common Settings: /%postname%/
Optional: Product category base: ?product_cat= and Product tag base: ?product_tag=
Product permalink base: Custom base: /?product=
After a lot of trying i came up with the setting above. This will work for all WordPress content pages and most of the WooCommerce pages but the return after payment page is still broken.
Any input is welcome here.... thanks in advance!
/%postname%/
structure and/product
as the base. Try disabling all your other plugins. Rename your .htaccess to something else and then resave your permalinks. Maybe that will help. – helgatheviking
