Error 404 in users.php after updating to 4.4.1

Additional info.

Also found out that pagination stopped working on all 4 sites…:-(

I’m going to roll back to previous wordpress version.

Hey WP developers,

I’ve probably found the problem: auto-update.

First I did the auto-update. After that my wp-admin/users.php and my pagination stopped working.

After manually updating wordpress everything went back to normal exept for the pagination.

Just like last time there’s an auto-update problem and a permalink issue.

Pls fix this asap.

Is there really no fix?

I’ve switched off all plugins and my current theme and pagination is still not working after update from 4.4 to 4.4.1.

Looks like a permalink problem.

This is one of our known issue for 4.4.1: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-44-master-list?replies=7&view=all#post-7857957

Sorry for the trouble!

You’ll find the bug report with details and a working patch at https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/35344

This will be fixed in 4.4.2.

Hi James,

Thank you for the link.

However, I see a lot of suggestions / options.
I’m not a coder so what is the right script to fix this problem?
Can you post it here so I can use it as a reference / archive for the future; with instructions where to apply this code?

Thank you!

Here are the changes that will be made to the /wp-includes/canonical.php file in 4.4.2: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset/36237

To make those changes, access your server via FTP or SFTP and edit the file with a plain text editor.

Hi,

is this error fixed? I also have it on three blogs I updated to 4.4.2. Really BAD! All links go to 404 ??

What do I have to do? Wait for the update?
Please help!

Thanks
Lars

It looks like it might be in the next release, see https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/35344#comment:73 for the latest fix.

Thanks James! Any idea when the next update rolls out?

4.5 is still scheduled for April 12: https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/version-4-5-project-schedule/

There is always the chance that a 4.4.3 could arrive before then, but minor releases like that are generally not planned and typically only arrive in response to valid security reports.
