I’ve added in a custom permalink structure in the wordpress settings:

/insights/%category%/%postname%/

This is working fine for the blog & category list pages e.g.
Blog Posts List: /insights/
Categories Posts List: /insights/category/

However, as expected the pagination links go to:
/insights/all/page/2/
/insights/all/page/3/
etc
But these give 404 errors, where the actual pages are still located in the base URL:
/all/page/2/

(We currently don’t have enough posts with a specific tag to bring up pagination – but I’m presuming it’s the same issue.

Adding a category base and a tag base also breaks the category and tag listing page links too.

Is there something in the theme files that’s causing this issue – not accepting the wordpress custom structure for some reason?

Many thanks

Turning this off in Yoast, and then placing “.” or “insights” in the category base gives the correct url structure and fixes the pagination issue – however this then breaks the tag links! (Even with nothing placed in the tag base input)

Our theme uses the default get_pagenum_link method to get the link to the corresponding page and you can further debug your links in the boc_pagination method in fortuna\includes\boc_framework.php file to see what the issue might be with your custom permalinks… I suppose you could strip that “insights” part from the links but not sure that’s what you want…

- Yoast SEO removes the category base

But as stated this causes the pagination to break

Removing this function from Yoast SEO and then placing “.” or “insights” in the category base gives the correct url structure for the posts, and fixes the pagination issue – however this then breaks the tag links (Even with nothing placed in the tag base input – adding “.” or “insights” in the tag base also gives 404 for the tags).

I’ve tried numerous combinations and all seem to break something.

This makes me suspect it is the theme causing this, as these are basic wordpress functions? I’ll check out the boc_framework.php, but was hoping you’d have come across this issue previously.

Not really, as I mentioned we use the default WP method to generate the links – get_pagenum_link so it should work as expected out of the box. You could doublecheck with one of the default WP themes and inspect their pagination links if that would help…
Good luck! :)
