404

Hi,

Is there a URL you can provide where I can check this out?

Hi ??

I just have it local at the moment … so no url to give.
I cannot put it in a live environment incase it has the same effect and all my posts go to a 404.

Is there anything I can check to provide you with more information?

Many thanks again

Hi,

If you set the permalink structure to %postname% does that produce 404 errors? Did you flush the permalinks by re-saving the permalink structure?

Hi ??

I have just tried it again … replacing the variables and it seems to work now … not sure if it was restarting MAMP that did it for my local host … but the article is appearing with the updated permalink..

I just tried to view articles from November …. so mydomain.com/2014/november/
and I a getting a 404 for this
the permalink structure is /%year%/%monthname%/%day%/%postname%/

would you expect a 404 for this? or a post list of all articles for November?

Thanks again

Hi,

I am glad the restart helped ??

Because WordPress doesn’t know how to handle mydomain.com/2014/november/ it will go to a 404.

Try this, change the permalink structure to one of the default provided by WordPress, say “Month and name”. The final URL would appear as https://example.com/2014/11/sample-post/

Now try navigating to https://example.com/2014/11/ , you’d end up on a 404 page.

You can add a new rewrite rule to instruct WordPress how to handle that URL.

That’s an idea for the next plugin update ??

Thanks.

Topic resolved.

Cool thanks again ??

That would be a great addition for the next update … would enable even better date archive pages ??
