SEO Friendly URLs issue

    Hi, I was on the Algolia community forum asking around about an issue I’m having and someone recommended I check here since we are using the wp-search-with-algolia plugin.
    I’m currently developing SEO Friendly URLs based on Algolia documentation:
    https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/building-search-ui/going-further/routing-urls/js/#seo-friendly-urls

    Everything works perfectly on the search page but if I copy the URL(with filters selected) to another browser I’m getting 404. But this only occurs when category menu items in the path. RefinementList query parameters are persistent and open in a new window with filters selected.

    cambiumnetworks.local/resources/Case+Studies/?product_category=PMP
    This throws WordPress 404 (page not found)

    cambiumnetworks.local/resources/?product_category=PMP This works when pasting to a new window and loads the filter product category -> PMP

    Could this be related to how I’m connecting to Algolia with the plugin? I’m wondering if you’ve seen or heard of this issue before?

    thank you,
    Kurt

    Not sure how to best get around that as it seems WordPress is considering “Case+Studies” as part of it’s own permalinks and not query parameters rewritten.

    Only spot I know of where we customize routing is at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/wp-search-with-algolia/blob/2.8.2/templates/instantsearch.php#L86-L104

    Hi Michael, thanks for the quick reply. As a test I just disabled the WP Search with Algolia plugin. My search page still functions but again when copying link to a new window throws 404. I think this can safely say the issue isn’t related to the plugin. I do see that routing object in the plugin code but since I disabled the plugin I can see that this is not interfering with my code. I’m surprised I can’t find more info about this online. I’ll check again. thank you.
