    Hello. I can’t find any posts with this same issue so hopefully somebody can help me.

    I have the monthly archives widget in my blog sidebar.
    Here: https://kristinbytheocean.com/blog/

    All of the months/links work except January. Clicking any month of January leads to “Page cannot be found”. See links below:
    [Moderated: Redundant links removed]

    I have never changed or messed with my permalinks. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.

    Did January ever work before?

    If yes, when did they stop working — what was done to the site before this problem?

    January has never worked. It’s been a problem since last year when I posted in January.

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/
    It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health.
    On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, without affecting normal visitors to your site. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
    There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at https://make.www.ads-software.com/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/

    Thank you!! That makes me so nervous and I wish I could pay a pro to do it for me! I will be trying your advice tonight and coming back to report if it worked.

    Its one of the basic troubleshooting steps.

    I wish I could pay a pro to do it for me

    If you want to follow that option and hire someone for this, then please try https://jobs.wordpress.net/ or https://jetpack.pro/ and do not accept any hire offers posted to these forums.

    Oh. my. gosh. That was easier than I thought! The Health Check plugin worked! I found 1 plugin that was causing the issue.

    All fixed. THANK YOU.
