HELP…Pages 404 error

  • I have created pages but when I click on the page I get “HTTP 404 Not found”. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Do I need to do something else besides created the page and saving it? Please help.

  • Seems like you have set the permalinks on from your admin panel. Permalinks makes your website url SEO friendly. When you set it on, wordpress creates a .htaccess file in your blog root directory. You can create .htaccess from notepad. Just save a file with filename .htaccess and paste the following in it:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    and then upload it to your blog root directory. This will solve the problem.

    I can’t seem to find the blog root directory…I did paste it into the permalink section. I also created a notepad file but I don’t know where to upload the file…sorry, but any advice would be helpful.

    Thanks!
