    To update my homepage, I create a test page, copy the text version of the original homepage content, edit and publish. When I did this today I received a 404 error when using the View Page in WP, and also in other browsers outside of the WP environment. Logging out/in of WP and and new test page is in the page library but the same error occurs when I View Page or try to open it in outside browsers. Is there a simple way I can track down what is causing the error?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Try re-saving your permalink structure at Settings/Permalinks in your admin panel. If WordPress cannot automatically edit the .htaccess file, it will provide manual instructions after saving.

    Many thanks James. First try at resetting permalinks did not solve the problem. But after contacting the host, I learned that the cause was being out of disk space and upgraded. After upgrading I did have to reset the permalinks to open pages other than the homepage. Technology keeps my life interesting.
