List link only works internally

Hi @ted0815 ,

Thanks for reaching out and I’m sorry to hear about the issues!

To fix 404 issue, sometimes you just need to “flush” your permalinks. In your WordPress admin, go to Settings >> Permalinks. If you don’t have Post Name selected, go ahead and do that (or select a different non-default option) and save changes. We have the following article which also discusses some less common resolutions: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/fixing-http-404-errors.

Hope that helps! Let us know how it goes.

Best regards,
Marta

Hi Marta,

thank you for your quick response.

But your suggestion doesn’t really help – or I don’t get it. Even WordPress says, that changing permalinks has massive impact on your website and SEO:
“Changing the setting of your permalinks can greatly change your visibility in search engines. It should be done almost never on active website.”

So I cannot change the permalinks-settings. Did I get you wrong? Or do you have any other idea?

Best regards, Theo

Hi @ted0815

The issue seems to be the index.php in your URLs.

E.g. https://www.nfdi4chem.de/index.php/events/list/

You can either remove them through Permalinks or through .htaccess.

For the .htaccess option, please add the following to your .htaccess file.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

I strongly recommend testing this first on your staging site. If you haven’t created one yet, you can use the WP Staging plugin to create one easily.

Let me know how it goes.
