Each Category archive would show the first page 2. Moving to /page/2/ on each Categories and it would produce a 404. * Originally I thought it was a WordPress issue since the website was upgraded to WordPress 3.4 but after extensive analysis, it appears to be the theme. * **Implementing the Code** It helped in terms of getting past the issue of a 404 on /page/2/ (and thought it had cracked it to be honest) but the site now gets a 404 on any category URL that pass /page/3/ * That is, /page/3/ is working but going to the “previous Page” or “Older Entries” produces a 404 on /page/4/ * **This is the code that has helped the most** * ``` function my_post_queries( $query ) { if (!is_admin() && $query->is_main_query()){ if(is_home() || is_category() || is_tag() || is_search() ){ $query->set('posts_per_page', 1); } } } add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_post_queries' ); ``` * Any advise on the code would be a great help as I have tried near on everything in the WordPress Forum on this issue and various combinations thereof. * There are no plugins that play with the URL and I’ve also noticed that this applies to TAGS as well as CATEGORIES. * This is an [example of a category](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jointplan/replies/www.doylehance.com/category/family-law?output_format=md) that produced a 404 if you click on the “Older Entries” link and go beyond /page3/ * Many Thanks and hope you’re able to assist.
