disabling “Add rel link tags to archives?” removes it but it also removes from product category pages where I want them…

Hello, thank you for reaching out with a bug report.
It seems WooCommerce sets the query incorrectly for the shop page: Even when only displaying one category, WP_Query still fetches all posts and sets $numpages and $paged as if it’s displaying products. This is a bug in WooCommerce. They are already aware of this bug for a couple of years: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/24001.
If you go to “WP Admin -> Appearance -> Customize -> WooCommerce -> Product Catalog”, set ‘Products per row’ and ‘Rows per page’ high. This change will affect your site’s performance negatively because of the bug aforementioned, but it will “fix” the pagination link.
I recommend ignoring the issue entirely and not changing anything in Customizer. The link will not affect SEO, and the benefit of having it is debatable. You can safely disable the link relationship feature if you’d like; Google states they don’t use it (they actually do, but don’t process the links as intended).
I’m afraid there’s nothing much we can do but wait for WooCommerce to address the issue. Therefore, I’m marking this topic as “resolved.”
