error 404-page not found (please help)

seem you have not published that post or deleted as that post is not displaying on your posts. please recheck.

Hey Pankaj,

Thanks for the reply. Yep according to my dashboard-it’s all published. However, the error message remains.

Please cross check do you have a post with title similar to “Have you forgotten what you learned last year”

If you have edit and repost.

I’ve went in to my dashboard and removed a link in case that was the problem. I still have the same issue and even when I click on “view draft”-the same error message still shows.

Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

You’re on to something there Esmi! I did just that and my post returned.

But of course I would prefer to have a custom permalink. How come everything else is ok except this post? Is there a way around it?

Thanks!

The permalink structure you were using is not recommended for a number of reasons. In my experience, it’s a custom structure that most frequently seems to break down and need restoring.

I see, wow so much to learn. So I have the choice of an “ugly” default structure or a better for SEO permalink that sometimes breaks down?

No – you have a number of choices which are perfectly good for SEO purposes. Just ensure that the custom permalink structure starts with a numeric. Personally, I tend to use one of the date-based presets and always seem to achieve excellent SEO.

I see, I’ll have a little expirmentation with that then. Thanks a lot for your time, really appreciate it.
