Entire WordPress 404 not found everywhere

    Hi, I’ve been running my site using WordPress (dpinterface.com) for several months now. Today my site suddenly became ‘not found’ and 404 everywhere. I could log into my admin panel and I can still see my posts and all, but my homepage displays a 404 not found error, so do all my WordPress pages, and WordPress posts. Practically the entire front end of my site powered by WordPress is on 404 all of a sudden and I have no idea why. Before I swapped over to WordPress, I had a ‘static’ (manually updated) site, and the remaining non-WP pages from those times are still showing (example: dpinterface.com/news is a non-Wordpress generated part of the site and working) – so this is definitely an error on the WordPress side.

    I did a search before this and tried looking for solutions, but I have yet to find any. The WordPress version I am using is the latest – 2.8.4, which I upgraded to two weeks ago. I am not using any ‘Redirection’ plugin, I tried deleting and re-uploading my .htaccess and 404.php files, but to no avail. The Not Found pages are still showing, the last activity on my WordPress site was yesterday where I posted an article (no backend changes) and I could still see the site and went to bed. And all of a sudden, I find out today that the entire site is on 404. The index.php files and all are still in my public_html folder. I have deactivated all my plugins and even reverted to the default WordPress theme, and been waiting for a few hours now – still, the site ‘cannot be found’.

    I would be greatly appreciative if anyone could help out.

  • I get “500 Internal Server Error”.

    I tried deleting and re-uploading my .htaccess…

    Contact your web host, it could be that they are having server problems.

    Hi,

    Try to add this code in htaccess and have a check:

    # BEGIN WordPress

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    @shane G – Nope, tried that already, doesn’t seem to work.
    @iridiax – many of my readers seem to reporting a 404 error, and I’ve been seeing a 404 error too

    So far, the site still cannot be found, still 404

    Problem resolved by host. Thanks

    Do you know what they had done? I am getting the same error. I’ve tried installing the wordpress and theme onto a new directory and getting the same “page not found” for my non-index page (all pages and posts). When I go in the admin area, they all appear there without issue. The home page loads perfectly fine.

    My resolution:

    change the permalinks to the id#

    once that is determined to work, change them back to whatever you had them.
