    404: Page not found
    Two days ago, in error, I changed our site address from the temporary url to our permanent domain curtisfurniture.com which was pointed to our existing live website….I lost access to our WP Dashboard.

    I contacted and paid Network Solutions to correct the problem. Instead of correcting the problem–by just changing back to the temporary URL in the settings, they changed the name servers

    I contacted Network Solutions again to correct that problem–well they reversed the DNS changed back to the temporary URL “https://03cd498.netsolhost.com/CurtisFurniture” but now my navigation to all of my links from the Home Page and to inner pages are broken.

    I have checked the permalinks–every page and post link is correct. Network Solutions has been useless in corrected what appears to be a problem unique to them based on my research.

    In the SQL Database–the permalinks match the associated page/post.

    How do I correct the problem?

    Your HELP would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Try re-saving your permalink structure at Settings/Permalinks in your admin panel. If WordPress cannot automatically edit the .htaccess file, it will provide manual instructions after saving.

    Thank you, I successfully changed the Permalink settings back to the default and saved the change. That immediately worked and the links we accessible again. But I did have to manually update sub-pages. I will wait a couple days to ensure that my backup reflects the updates made over the last few days before I change the permalinks back to more SEO friendly structure.
