Category Paging Issue – page/2 redirecting to someother page

Hello

I was facing and issue where my category page

domain/category-name/page/2

was automatically redirecting to some-other page in my website

it may happen that in your case it might give a 404 error…

I found many solutions including…

adding $paged to the query_posts line…

`$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
query_posts( $query_string . “&paged=$paged” );`

and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-pagination-fix/faq/

albeit none helped.

The issue was resolved as:

My permalink structure was – /%category%/%post_id%/%postname%.html

I had kept . as my category prefix and left tag one as blank.

So I removed the . and put a “category” there.

It started working as domain/category/category-name/page/2

you can replace “category” with whatever name you like…
