I have a custom WP_Query inside of an archive. I know this is not ideal, but when I try switching it out for a pre_get_posts option, then my page just enters an infinite loop, so I'd rather stick with the WP Query. The problem is that pagination sends me to a 404 error on /page/2.
My query (it also has some taxonomy and meta queries added later)
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$query_args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'posts_per_page' => 2,
'paged' => $paged,
);
Here is my pagination function
function pagination($query){ ?>
<ul class="pagination">
<?php
$pages = paginate_links( array(
'base' => str_replace( 999999999, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( 999999999 ) ) ),
'total' => $query->max_num_pages,
'current' => max( 1, get_query_var( 'paged' ) ),
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'show_all' => false,
'type' => 'array',
'end_size' => 2,
'mid_size' => 1,
'prev_next' => true,
'prev_text' => '<span class ="fa fa-caret-left" aria-hidden="true"></span><span class="prev-text">Prev</span>',
'next_text' => '<span class="next-text">Next</span> <span class ="fa fa-caret-right" aria-hidden="true"></span>',
'add_args' => false,
'add_fragment' => '',
) );
if (is_array($pages)):
foreach ($pages as $p): ?>
<li class="pagination-item js-ajax-link-wrap">
<?php echo $p; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach;
endif; ?>
</ul>
<?php
}
The pagination displays properly...the problem is when I go to "/page/2" it throws a 404 error.

Put this in functions.php (or a required file). Of course, change it to suit your needs. I needed something that only worked for product category archives.
function modify_product_cat_query( $query ) {
if (!is_admin() && $query->is_tax("product_cat")){
$query->set('posts_per_page', 2);
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'modify_product_cat_query' );
I also took out the posts_per_page parameter from my WP_Query.
Also after I've disabled plugin of orbisius simple shortlink problem solved! it override site/page/123 links to be redirected to page ID.
