Issue
After the shipment is created for an order placed, an email is sent to the customer with tracking information and a link to track the order. However, when the customer clicks on the shipment tracking link in the email this returns a "404 Page not Found" error.
Steps to reproduce:
- Install Magento v2.4. For steps, refer to Install Magento using Composer .
- Place an order.
- Go to the Admin panel > Sales > Orders . Look for the order you just created and open it. ** **
- Create a shipment and add a tracking number (Carrier = Custom Value). For steps, refer to the Magento User Guide > Order Management > Creating a Shipment .
- You receive an email. Click on the tracking link to check it is working.
- Create an invoice. For steps, refer to Magento User Guide > Order Management > Creating an invoice . Then click again on the tracking link above.
Expected result:
The tracking link should work even after creating the invoice. Actual result: After creating the invoice, the tracking link is not working and returns a "404 Page not Found" error page.
