Missing About and Archive Pages after Upgrade

Did you update your permalinks?

Other than that… no way to give any meaningful advice without a link.

The blog is at https://www.joshuamacy.com/wordpress

As for updating the permalinks, under Options | Permalinks I chose date-and-name-based, and that seems to work. E.g.

https://www.joshuamacy.com/wordpress/2007/11/19/marginal-revolution-why-most-published-research-findings-are-false-2/

finds the right individual post page. It’s only the /about/ and /archives/ that seem to be missing/unable to resolve.

Do you have, actually, an About and Archives Page?

My understanding was that WordPress creates at least a default About page during installation, that says something along the lines of “This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from.” Is this not the case?

At any rate, I figured it out: I had to go into Manage | Pages and create a page named about and a page named archives using the provided templates.
