It seems as if the SEO-friendly pretty permalinks in WordPress don’t stick. Instead, any permalink that is used gets a plain permalink look with the query parameters attached to any web page (Example: /?v=5435c69ed3bc). This happens with parent or child theme, and another theme like twenty-twenty-five. With all plugins removed but Woo. Without the WooCommerce plugin, the issue goes away!
I have tried changing and refreshing permalinks settings, saving, and back again. Multiple Woo cache flushes too. Checked .htaccess on the server, (code says it is writable). The issue is viewed on multiple systems and browsers. Created a handler, mod_rewrite, in Appache Handlers on the remote hosted server thinking this might help with permissions, but I’m not sure that I implemented this correctly. That’s as far as I’ve got. But I have spent hours reading WP and Woo forum posts and searched for answers elsewhere. My host SYSOP didn’t have a clue. I can provide more details and a Woo status report if you feel it necessary.
