The issue you’re experiencing may be related to the permalink settings in your WordPress installation. Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this problem:
1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard (usually at yourdomain.com/wp-admin).
2. Navigate to Settings > Permalinks.
3. Select the “Post name” permalink structure (or any other structure you prefer) and click “Save Changes”. This step will help regenerate the .htaccess file and update the permalink settings for your website.
If the issue persists after following these steps, you can also check if the .htaccess file is properly configured:
1. Access your website files using an FTP client or your hosting control panel’s file manager.
2. Locate the .htaccess file in the root folder of your WordPress installation. If it’s not there, you can create a new file with the same name.
3. Make sure the .htaccess file has the following default WordPress rules:
# 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
4. Save the changes and refresh your website to see if the issue is resolved.
If none of these solutions work, you might need to contact your hosting provider to ensure that mod_rewrite is enabled on your server, as this is a requirement for the permalink settings to work correctly.
