Same base url for categories and products in woocommerce

Question

is it possible to have the same base url for categories and products in woocommerce? At the moment it's giving my category page an 404 but products working fine.

What i'm trying to do is that both have the base "shop" Categories: demo.com/shop/category/ Products: demo.com/shop/category/product-name

The solution could be this one Permalinks for Woocommerce

Try to add this in your functions.php

function wpse_291143_generate_taxonomy_rewrite_rules( $wp_rewrite ) {

    global $wp_rewrite;
    $base = "shop";

    $rules = array();
    $terms = get_terms( array( 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat', 'hide_empty' => false ));

    foreach($terms as $term) {
        $term_children = get_terms( array(
            'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
            'parent' => intval($term->term_id),
            'hide_empty' => false
            )
        );
        if($term_children) {
            foreach ( $term_children as $term_child ) {
                $rules[$base . '/' . $term->slug . '/' . $term_child->slug . '/?$'] = 'index.php?product_cat=' . $term_child->slug;
            }
        }
    }

    $wp_rewrite->rules = $rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
    return $wp_rewrite->rules;
}

add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'wpse_291143_generate_taxonomy_rewrite_rules');
