That helped … some.
Here is what I did:
1) disable Advanced Permalinks
2) select default permalinks
3) test: home page, post, categories, tags, and pages work.
-old permalink structure gives 404 (/%category%/%postname%/)
4) select permalinks “Month and name”.
5) test: home page, post, categories, tags, and pages work.
-old permalink structure gives 404 (/%category%/%postname%/)
6) activate Advanced Permalinks
-pages fail to load
-home page, posts, categories, tags all still work.
-old permalink structure loads
I disabled Advanced Permalinks, for now. My backlinks won’t work.
