All Pages Lead to 404 Error

Reset permalinks to default and then set them back to what you want. Make sure htaccess is writable and the changes get saved.

Tried but that didn’t fix it

Still getting the say 404 Not found Error

I changed the links back to default created a new test page and it leads to a “there’s nothing here” then I changed the links back to my custom permalinks /%postname%/

and get a 404 Error

completely delete .htaccess
regenerate your custom permalinks

saved a copy of my .htaccess on the computer just in case. Deleted it off the server set permalinks to default then back to /%postname%/ to regenerate them and still nothing.

Bummer, any more ideas I’ve been searching the Net high and low but can’t find any answers.

I am having a similar problem, I recently tried moving my wordpress to my sites root and I changed the home and blog url to my root then moved everything the home page worked but that was it all the rest of the pages didnt, I know its a permalink problem but i cant even login to change it everytime i go to https://www.sypherav.com/wp-admin/ it says
“Not Found

The requested URL /login was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

I checked on myphpadmin to see if the blog url was right and it was, I also tried deleting my .htaccess file, that did nothing, i tried changing the permissions of my .htaccess file, that did nothing. so then i had this idea why not move the wordpress back to where it originally was, so i went into myphpadmin changed the blog url back to https://www.sypherav.com/client (the original wordpress location) again the home page worked just fine, but then when i tried to navigate to other pages or to login i get the same error! can somebody please help me!!! i dont know what to do im guessing it has something to do with the .htaccess file but i wouldnt even know what code to change in there this is how my .htaccess file looks
# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

i feel like ive tried everything…

@ Jensjacob, follow these instructions to recover: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL

@schappster: I’ve advised one other user and this worked for them: in the editor, copy your text and then recreate the page under a slightly different name. Then do a 301 redirect in htaccess before the WP rewrite block:

Redirect 301 /about/ https://www.m0a.com/aboutme

It’s not pretty and doesn’t solve the underlying problem, but it works.

I understand that would work and thought about it as a last resort. But from an SEO standpoint I can’t see that being very advantageous. But then again my pages aren’t what I want the search engines after it’s the posts so it may work. I’m going to continue looking for a solution and see.

Maybe search through the database with PHPMyAdmin to find the page links and see if they’re somehow bad? Don’t know.

Links all look good in PHPMyAdmin

This is so confusing, i’m normally pretty good at finding solutions but this one has me beat

Yesterday I had to manually delete permalinks -zero them out – in the database in order to get a site back up; maybe “stuck” permalinks is the problem? They’re in wp_options.

Still struggling with this after 3 months tried everything

Anyone have an idea?

schappster — I see you must’ve just fixed it? your Page links are working!

Current page links work

However if I try to edit them or publish a new one they lead to a 404 error as soon as I hit “update” or “publish”

really a bummer

Hmmm still a problem… anyone?
