Persistent 404 Errors on Product URLs Despite AMP Plugin Configuration

    Hello everyone,

    I’ve been encountering a recurring issue with numerous URLs on my website leading to 404 errors, and I’m seeking advice on how to resolve this. These URLs are product links from a WordPress site, potentially using WooCommerce or a similar plugin. Here are some examples of the URLs that are consistently returning 404 errors:

    • https://alcoprevention.com/en/?post_type=product&p=1730
    • https://alcoprevention.com/en/?post_type=product&p=1706
    • https://alcoprevention.com/?post_type=product&p=73
    • https://alcoprevention.com/?post_type=product&p=108

    Based on the AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) plugin documentation, these URLs shouldn’t result in 404 errors. Instead, they should either correctly display the product pages or, if the product does not exist, redirect to a relevant page with a 301 redirect. However, this isn’t happening.

    Here’s what I’ve checked so far:

    1. The AMP plugin is activated and set to Transitional or Reader mode, which should enable Paired AMP configurations.
    2. The URLs include & which is the HTML entity for “&”. I’ve tried accessing the URLs with both & and &, but the result is the same.
    3. I’ve cleared cache on the website and in my browser, but the issue persists.

    My main concern is the impact on SEO and user experience, as these 404 errors are being picked up in search console analytics. I’m looking for any insights or suggestions on how to resolve these 404 errors, or at least redirect them properly as 301s to maintain SEO integrity.

    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello @wazoomstudio

    Thank you for reaching out to us, yes it’s correct the URLs should have redirected to the desired product page, but they are failing somehow.

    However, the issue appears to be unrelated to the AMP plugin, as the AMP plugin does not affect the default WordPress permalink.

    We found out that you are using AMP for blog pages and not for product pages, so it will not impact product pages.

    We will recommend contacting WooCommerce support as they can provide better guidance regarding the same.

    We are sorry we can’t be more of assistance on this one.
