404 error on "post page"

    I am very new to WordPress. I am trying to make a website using WordPress. The problem I’m having is that whatever page I designate as the “posts page” (Settings>Reading>Static page/”Posts page”> is the page where I get the 404 page not found message. I have changed the “posts page” to other pages, but no matter what page I have designated as the “Posts page”, this error occurs. The other pages work just fine. I only have 2 plugins -askimet and WP super cache.
    I have looked at the .htaccess file and it seems to be as it should.
    My site is https://www.sheilahvaron.com. Any ideas on what else I can do?

  • Can you make the 404 happen and give the link please.

    I assume you tried every page? Strange issue, sounds the same as what happens with custom post types when the template file is missing.

    What is your permalink, if it is custom please paste it here.

    The permalink for the blog page is: https://www.sheilahvaron.com/blog-4/

    The 404 happens on the Blog page (that is the page I have designated as the “post page” as opposed to static page). The url is https://www.sheilahvaron.com/blog-4/

    The other pages are fine…they are not listed as the “post page” on Settings>Reading>Static-Post page
    Does not happen on the Home page (my designated static page), Travel, Family, or Quilting

    If I were to change any of the other pages to the post page (which is now the Blog), the same thing would happen with them.

    I trashed previous Blog pages because I was trying to work this out. I noticed that each new Blog page I created was named blog-2, blog-3, blog-4.
    Don’t know if this could possibly be an indication of where the problem is happening.

    thanks for info,..

    The incremental appended number is what I was going to reply about. Would bet money on it.

    tumorambut appears to be spamming if you ask me. No need for that link.

    Would bet money on ? Do you think the incremental number is a clue to what is happening?

    Possibly.

    Did you re-create a “blog” page or category? There had to have been an action to create 4.

    I recreated the page. I haven’t even set up categories yet. The only category I have right now is “uncategorized”. I don’t have any tags either. I just trashed another page (Family) and did “add new page” for that same title. I came up with the same type of appended number (Family-2).

    Another piece of info…I am using the “Day and Name” option for the permalinks…not the custom option. I know that on other support threads, using the custom option has been a problem causing 404 errors.

    This is my .htaccess file:
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

    OK…I’m not sure what the problem was, but I changed the “reading setting” to “Your Latest Posts” instead of static page. Then I changed it back to static page. Now I’m not getting the 404 error
