WordPress pagination throws 404 on page 2 and up

Question

I have a site with several custom post types and of course a search for everything.

Now when I type in /?s=new I get a results and I can see pagination telling me that there are 9 pages, but when I press any of pagination links I get URL like this /page/2/?s=new that gives me 404.

Any idea why?

Also should mention that I have same pagination at blog pages and it works with no issues. This is only on search results page

Answer 1

It sounds like its an issue with your routing parameter. Perhaps there is conflicting page names when it is generating a slug, or there is no default holder for the page number
