Change permalinks that broke

Did you specify a parent page when you created the child pages? If so, you will have to edit each child page to remove the old parent. You can use the Quick Edit option to do that.

Hi @hebhansen
Sorry for the trouble. You could go to the “Quick Edit” of the About page and change the “Parent” settings to “Main Page (no parent).” You can follow this screen recording. Let me know how that goes! ??

Thanks brilliant. Permalink changed. I think I’m caught in a mix of things. TT3 theme shows 404 even though links are correct. Not only for edited pages, but for everything. I have placed the issue with TT3… Thx

It’s not a theme issue. First, make sure your .htaccess file has the rewrite option enabled. If you didn’t find the code below, then add it.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
  RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Afterward, return to the WordPress dashboard -> Settings -> Permalink -> Save Changes. So the existing Permalink will be flushed, and the site should work fine.

Give it a try, and let me know how that goes! ??

How where do I change Rewrite option to enable?

I have this code in my htaccess. Do I also add the other:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
		RewriteEngine On

		# Protect System Files - Security > Settings > System Tweaks > System Files
		RewriteRule ^wp-admin/install\.php$ - [F]
		RewriteRule ^wp-admin/includes/ - [F]
		RewriteRule !^wp-includes/ - [S=3]
		RewriteRule ^wp-includes/[^/]+\.php$ - [F]
		RewriteRule ^wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/.+\.php - [F]
		RewriteRule ^wp-includes/theme-compat/ - [F]
		RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
		RewriteRule (^|.*/)\.(git|svn)/.* - [F]

		# Disable PHP in Uploads - Security > Settings > System Tweaks > PHP in Uploads
		RewriteRule ^wp\-content/uploads/.*\.(?:php[1-7]?|pht|phtml?|phps)\.?$ - [NC,F]
	</IfModule>

I also have this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Code added. I am still getting 404 errors:

Privacy

Im getting this error

It’s set to post name. Do I need to change and save and then go back and save?

I checked htaccess. Code is in the active acccess

@faisalahammad @bigmoxy

Permalinks are still broken!

Code is added to .htaccess
I have saved in Permalinks

Not working

I have disconnected CDN
Saved Permalinks again
Cleared Cache

Page permalinks are still broken and return 404. This is urgent. Can someone help please…

Short Recap:

For anyone with this same issue:

Inside Permalink Settings you MUST select another URL/link type. Fx date or ID > save and after you may revert back to the one you want.

I stayed for away from this change in order to not break even more… However, way to go…
