    I recently installed Yoast on my networks installation and network activated it. Since then, I’ve been experiencing recurring 404 errors on my single blog post pages on my main site. I thought it was just a permalink thing, and a few times, I just refreshed the permalinks and things went back to normal.

    Today, when it happened, without refreshing permalinks, I started deactivating plugins to see if I could relate one to the other. As soon as I deactivated Yoast, my single post started working again without doing anything else.

    Has anyone ever experienced this before? I have a hard time believing it is directly related to Yoast, but it’s the only conclusion I can come to. I’m guess it probably has something to do with my htaccess file, so I’ll post that here too:

    Anybody know what might be going on here?

  • Did you get anywhere with this? I’ve not got Yoast installed on this specific site, but had the same problem. I worked out that it was because the first word of the blog was the same as another page on the site with that word as permalink.

    As I didn’t want to change the permalink of the page, I just changed the address of the post itself, not the title. And it worked.

    May not be the same issue for you though.

    No, unfortunately, I never found a solution. The client wasn’t using Yoast much anyway, so I just ended up deactivating it and haven’t had the problem since.
