I managed to fix to the problem. First let me clarify what was wrong. Secondly, I will explain what worked for me.

The problem was I changed the permalink structure for a website that had existing posts. As a result, the pretty permalinks no longer worked for my posts although they continued to worked for pages. For posts, I would receive a message that said “sorry, no posts match your criteria.” I installed the Advanced Permalinks plugin but it was not helpful.

THE FIX: The following are the steps I took to fix the problem

1. I went to plugin menu and disabled the Advanced Permalinks plugin.

2. I followed Marventus’s advice and reset the Permalinks from pretty permalinks back to the ugly to default (Settings–>Permalinks, “Default”)

3. I checked each one of my posts to see if they opened. They all opened but they had the ugly non-SEO friendly default url. I checked each of my pages and discovered that the pretty permalinks were no longer working for pages. They pages and posts had ugly, non-SEO friendly url’s.

4. I went back to Settings and changed the permalink structure to custom structure and inserted the new pretty permalink structure (Settings–>Permalinks, Custom)

5. I checked each of my posts and pages. They were all working again with the custom pretty permalinks.
