Homepage suddenly not found after adding a post

Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

esmi,

Thanks for the quick response. When I reset my permalinks to default I get a white 404 page. Any other ideas?

What urls are entered in Settings -> General?

Both are https://saintanyway.com

Try deleting the .htaccess file in the wordpress root folder using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

I found the file and deleted it, but I’m still getting the same problem. Unfortunately I need to leave my computer until about 5 PM central time, I’m looking forward to getting back here and solving the problem!

I’m still fighting the same issue, any one have any ideas what I can do?

Thanks!

Do you have a recent database backup?

Excellent idea, how do I check to see?

Creating backups is something that you do – either manually or via a plugin. If this isn’t something you’ve done before, then it’s safe to assume that the answer to my question is “No”. You could try asking your hosts if they have a database backup from a period before this problem occurred.

Ok, I will try that. Do you have any other suggestions? I’ll gladly hand over my site and change the password if you can poke around?

Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.
