Moshu, thanks. I hadn’t seen your reply before the following occurred.
On my way to find another thing I poked into “permalinks.” Now, I knew that at set up I’d changed from “default” to “date and name based” but my 404’s were NOT in a format …blog/numbers/words/
My 404s were reporting format blog/words/…
Since “numeric option” showed format blog/words/…., and it was the only “common option” of that format, guess what I picked?
Lo and behold, no more 404!
Which is when I came and buck up into you and “Using_Permalinks.”
Well, I read and I read and I read some more. Yet still I don’t have a clue what caused 404s.
Of course I set things back to default and as of yet, still no 404s!
Thanks very much. Yet I wonder what I may have done to trip on 404.
Regards.
