Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with the 404 errors on your e-shop after optimizing the URLs. It seems that some internal links are not working correctly in WooCommerce.
To globally remove the 404 errors, you can follow these steps:
-
Check Permalink Settings in WooCommerce:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Permalinks.
- Ensure that the permalink settings are set correctly to match your URL structure.
-
Re-save Permalinks:
- Go to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard.
- Without changing anything, click on the "Save Changes" button to refresh the permalinks.
-
Check for Broken Links:
- Use a plugin like "Broken Link Checker" to scan your website for any broken links and fix them.
-
Clear Cache:
- If you are using any caching plugins, clear the cache to ensure that the changes reflect correctly.
-
Check Redirects:
- Ensure that there are no conflicting redirects set up that might be causing the 404 errors.
If after following these steps the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards.

Hello,
Please head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and save the settings without changing anything.
If the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Hi, I’ve done everything you recommend. The links on the site were incorrect. I couldn’t wait any longer. I restored the site from backup. What you recommend:

If you want us to investigate the issue with the stripping category base option on your site please follow the directives given by my colleague earlier to share access credentials to your site.
We look forward to helping you.
Thanks.
