Joomla SobiPro search results in a 404

Question

(Apologies if I'm breaking any community guidelines here with this question, I just don't know how else to ask?)

I've recently migrated one of my Joomla sites from 2.5 to 3+ and one of the most important components I use on the site is SobiPro.

I've upgraded SobiPro to the latest version as well and made sure that everything is in order.

Now this is where I'm having a problem. On just one single section, when I do a search I get a 404 when going to the results page and for the life of me I don't know what is wrong.

This is not happening on any other section, just this one. I've checked all settings and I've literally run out of ideas as to where to look and what to do to get to the bottom of this.

I'm happy to provide further info, I just don't know what to provide?

Any help that could possibly point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen this happen in various ways and the fix usually tends to be the following.

Turn "Search Engine Friendly URLs and Use URL Rewriting" off.

Navigate the site on the frontend, to the area affected.

Then turn "Search Engine Friendly URLs and Use URL Rewriting" on. May need to clear the cache afterwards, and make sure your hosting doesnt have some extended cache on, via php.ini.
