Error 404 after changing permalink

    Hi

    I’m having a problem since changing my permalinks from default to postname. I’m getting 404 errors on pages but only the ones that are within the submenu called menus, all the other pages are working fine.

    I tried using yoast facility to generate code to put in HTaccess but it just says WordPress will redirect for you, so it thinks I shouldn’t need to do anything. What I’m experiencing is when I view the site: https://www.5thview.com/menus/nibbles/

    Not sure why it’s just those pages that are affected other than they are in a submenu. I’ve no idea how to fix this.

    I should add that if I switch back to default permalinks it works fine again…

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi @jostill,

    It seems there is some extra rule is defined under the .htaccess file.

    You can delete the .htaccess file and reset the permalink option again.

    Or you can also post the code, I will check and advise.

    Let me know if you have any further query.

    Thanks

    Hi all
    same problem with my website. I changed back to permalink structure before and this works fine. I deleted .htaccess file and reset the permalink option once again. This results in 404 for all pages except homepage itself. So no clue why this happen. Changed again back to old permalink structure – it works

    Hi

    Thanks for your reply.

    I’ve posted the code because I changed the name of the HTaccess file and it then stopped the site working altogether. Presumably you meant replace the file with a new version (it needs one to keep functioning right?) Sorry I’m not too sure on HTaccess files…

    When browsing through the files via ftp I can see there are some other files .htaccess.bak.1450224831 underneath the original – presumably they are versions from backups I have made?

    Found a fix for my issue, which might be of use to you. When I looked at the links for the menu/sub item pages the link for all the menu items had been changed to menus rather than menu during the permalink update? Manually fixed all these and now it works! Woop, woop!
