I am using pagination in wordpress, the truth is that I have used it several times. But this time, when I access page number 2, I get an error 404. I've searched a bit and I've tried several functions, but not work. Here I leave my loop

 <?php

        $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

        $news = array(
            'post_type' => 'post',
            'category_name' => 'projekte',
            'order' => 'DESC',
            'paged' => $paged,
            'posts_per_page' => 8
        );

        $wp_query = new WP_Query($news);
        if (have_posts()) :
            while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>


                <div class="column is-one-quarter">

• Have you tried saving your permalinks. Please go to Settings > Permalinks in WP Admin and click Save Changes – Sneha Agarwal Commented May 16, 2019 at 11:42

• Here's a good read as well: stackoverflow/questions/42189247/…. On what page or post exactly are you displaying the results of your custom query? You may need to adjust the main query via pre_get_posts, so that WordPress globally knows aha oho what query exactly is running on that page right now, will it have pages or should I trigger a 404 as not every page should simply be accessible with a */page/* URL. – norman.lol Commented May 16, 2019 at 12:10

1 Answer 1

I found the solution.

First, in functions.php:

function mg_news_pagination_rewrite() {
add_rewrite_rule(get_option('category_base').'/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$', 'index.php? 
pagename='.get_option('category_base').'&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');
}
add_action('init', 'mg_news_pagination_rewrite');

and then in wordpress, settings> Permalinks changes must be saved
