Visitors may see messages such as <strong>\u201c404 Not Found,\u201d \u201cPage Not Found,\u201d<\/strong> or <strong>\u201cThe requested URL was not found on this server.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A WordPress 404 error can affect individual pages, posts, categories, images, or even the entire website. Fortunately, most 404 problems can be fixed without reinstalling WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains the common causes of WordPress 404 errors and provides practical solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_a_WordPress_404_Error\"><\/span>What Causes a WordPress 404 Error?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common causes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Incorrect or broken permalink settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A corrupted <code>.htaccess<\/code> file<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deleted or moved pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect URLs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plugin conflicts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Theme-related problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect WordPress URL settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missing rewrite rules<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Server configuration problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes made during website migration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Broken internal links<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before making changes, it is a good idea to create a backup of your WordPress files and database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Check_the_URL\"><\/span>1. Check the URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the simplest solution: verify that the URL is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https:&#47;&#47;example.com\/about-us\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Spelling mistakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect capitalization where relevant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missing or extra characters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect category or post slugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Old URLs saved in bookmarks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the page was recently renamed, the old URL may no longer exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Refresh_WordPress_Permalinks\"><\/span>2. Refresh WordPress Permalinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common causes of WordPress 404 errors is incorrect permalink configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can refresh the rewrite rules without changing your permalink structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps\"><\/span>Steps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to the WordPress dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings \u2192 Permalinks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check your current permalink structure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to change the permalink option. Simply saving the settings forces WordPress to regenerate its rewrite rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now open the previously broken URL and check whether it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Check_the_htaccess_File\"><\/span>3. Check the <code>.htaccess<\/code> File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Apache-based servers, WordPress uses the <code>.htaccess<\/code> file to handle URL rewriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A damaged or incorrect <code>.htaccess<\/code> file can cause 404 errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The default WordPress <code>.htaccess<\/code> configuration for a standard installation is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># BEGIN WordPress\n&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;\nRewriteEngine On\nRewriteBase \/\nRewriteRule ^index\\.php$ - &#91;L]\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d\nRewriteRule . \/index.php &#91;L]\n&lt;\/IfModule&gt;\n# END WordPress<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_regenerate_htaccess\"><\/span>How to regenerate <code>.htaccess<\/code><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect to your server using File Manager or FTP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Locate the WordPress installation directory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable <strong>Show Hidden Files<\/strong> if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find <code>.htaccess<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download a backup copy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rename or remove the existing file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Log in to WordPress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings \u2192 Permalinks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress should generate a new <code>.htaccess<\/code> file automatically if the server allows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> If your website contains custom <code>.htaccess<\/code> rules, back up the file before replacing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Check_Whether_the_Page_Still_Exists\"><\/span>4.

In many cases, simply <strong>resaving the permalink settings<\/strong> fixes the problem. If that does not work, investigate <code>.htaccess<\/code>, plugins, themes, redirects, server rewrite rules, and recent website changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For websites that have recently migrated or changed their URL structure, pay particular attention to <strong>permalinks, redirects, and server configuration<\/strong>. Fixing these issues quickly can prevent broken links, poor user experience, and unnecessary SEO problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to Fix WordPress 404 Error A 404 Not Found error in WordPress means the requested page or&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-wordpress-web-hosting","cs-entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
