I am having issues with some pretty permalinks working OK (those that relate to Product) and others going to a themed 404 (those that relate to pages and posts).

Have searched for quite some time on the forums but cannot find another similar incident (though no doubt there must be).

I have woocommerce installed and am running TheRetailer theme (but I have the same problem with 2011 and 2012 WP theme). I have the latest versions of both installed. I use Bluehost as my host.

When I disable all plug-ins permalinks work fine. When I only enable WooCommerce they stop working again.

My website is https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk

I have tested Mod_Rewrite. I think the tests below should also demonstrate that this doesn’t look like the issue

For ref – here is the .htaccess file that is generated when pretty permalinks are enabled (I wanted to use /%postname%/.?
```
# 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?
```
Currently with using the Default settings

?`# BEGIN WordPress
?# END WordPress? `

When I have permalinks set to Default the link for shop and products they look like this …. they work fine but are not what I want
https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/?post_type=product?
https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/?product=pink-taggie

When I have permalinks set to anythng other than default (in my ideal case /%postname%/) the link for shop and products look like this …. and they work fine too (when I have pretty permalinks enabled of course) …. exactly what I want
https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/shop/
https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/taggies/pink-taggie/

The issue is the Posts and Pages
The standard Pages and Posts are accessible via Default settings but then broken i.e. goes to a theme designed 404 (not webhost 404) when Permalinks /%postname%/ is enabled e.g.?
Default: https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/?page_id=828
Permalink /%postname%/: https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/blog/?
Default: https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/?page_id=14
Permalink /%postname%/: https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/cart/
?Default: https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/?p=1608
Permalink /%postname%/: https://www.cuddlesandpuddles.co.uk/test-2/

In terms of plug-ins:
I do not have any caching plug-in installed?
I do have Yoast SEO plug-in installed but have deactivated it whilst debugging and re-pushed the .htaccess files

I suggest using rewrite rules inspector to see which rules are being broken and why.

So have installed and used the plug-in and switched to pretty permalinks to look at one of the problematic pages. https://www.cudddlesandpuddles.co.uk/blog/

Output below.

I can’t make out though what it is telling me. I think it is saying that it has 1 match for the first “product” rewrite rule … which I can’t understand. Or indeed what to do about it.

Rule Rewrite Source
(.+?)/?$ index.php?product_cat=$matches[1] product
(.?.+?)(/[0-9]+)?/?$ index.php?pagename=$matches[1]&page=$matches[2] page
([^/]+)(/[0-9]+)?/?$ index.php?name=$matches[1]&page=$matches[2] post

Any help decoding the output and further suggestions gratefully received

Thanks

Have managed to resolve this. Not that I understand why, only the how!

I needed to not just use /%product_cat%/ for the WooCommerce product permalinks but to either use one of their suggested formats or have a custom format with “something” to replace their suggested shop/ prepend to /%product_cat%/

Then everything works fine. I used baby-gift and renamed the Shop page permalink to baby-gift thus giving me that which I needed.

Now I only have Rewrite Rule Inspector gives one less matching rule:

(.?.+?)(/[0-9]+)?/?$ index.php?pagename=$matches[1]&page=$matches[2] page
([^/]+)(/[0-9]+)?/?$ index.php?name=$matches[1]&page=$matches[2] post

All good!

Thanks

Hello, I use Theretailer too.
Did you have any sales using this theme? I think it has a very hard to use checkout. don’t you think?

@gerygreen

I found it OK. Granted I only use Paypal option so don’t have the complications of other payment types.

Customers have not mentioned any issues in terms of usability so pretty happy with it personally.

Regards
