If you're encountering 404 errors on your WordPress posts, here are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:
1. Re-Save Permalink Settings
Often, simply reconfiguring your permalink structure can fix the problem.
-
In your WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings > Permalinks.
-
Without making any changes, click Save Changes.
This action refreshes your permalink settings and flushes the rewrite rules, which commonly resolves 404 errors.
2. Check for Plugin Conflicts
Plugins can sometimes interfere with your site’s URLs. To identify the culprit:
-
Temporarily disable all plugins.
-
Then, reactivate them one by one, checking the site after each activation to pinpoint the issue.
3. Clear Your Website Cache
A stale cache can cause persistent errors. Make sure to flush your cache using your caching plugin or hosting dashboard.
4. Review Error Logs
Access your site logs to uncover additional details. They can help identify whether a plugin, theme, or server configuration is behind the issue.
