This guide gives you a short overview on how to fix Wordpress pagination 404 error.

I had recently installed Wordpress for my first blog site. I had changed the permalinks to

/%category%/%postname%.html

The pagination links were working perfectly fine before I changed the permalinks and made them more SEO friendly. But these permalinks gave me 404 Error when I was trying to navigate to the next pages.

I tried all the plugins, I could find on the internet to fix this error, but nothing could fix it. (I actually wasted more than 2 days to fix it.)

Here is a simple tweak that will help you, if you are in the same condition as me. This tweak does not need any code changes.

1. Login as the admin in Wordpress.
2. Go to the Settings tab.
3. Go to the Reading tab.
4. Change the Blog pages show at most from the default 10 to any number. For example, 5.
5. Save the changes.
6. View the blog.

If everything goes well, your pagination should be working perfectly fine without you changing any code.
