    Hi,

    Reset your desired permalink from wordpress admin area and add this code in htaccess:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    After that have a check with post and page URLs of your blog.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Thanks but it made no difference.
    Still got 404 and permalink still changed back.

    my permalink is /%postname%/

    I need to do this because my urls all show:
    https://www.domain.com/postname

    But I want
    https://www.domain.com/pagename

    I don’t know why wp has both pagename and postname but this is a real problem when pagename get changed during the site build but the post name doesn’t get updated by wp.

    Any other ideas?
