Page Not Found Error

  • I copied my site from another WP site that I already spent hours installing custom plugins, and everything seems to be working except the pages. I deleted all the previous pages and was in the process of creating new pages, but they don’t show up… all I get is “page not found”.

    https://tulsagoldandsilver.net/how-to-invest-in-gold/

    If you click on the above link, you’ll see the error. I can’t figure out which file needs to be modified to reflect what??? I thought I changed all the respective URLs from the last site to this one.

    Obviously I can’t finish the site – or even the design – until I know my pages that I create will actually be visible.

    Any assistance would be so much appreciated!!!

  • Have you enabled permalinks? Do you have an .htaccess file?

    Yes, I have enabled permalinks, which is why the url is laid out like that rather than numbers or any other format. As far as an .htaccess file, I didn’t see one on the server so I’m searching in the WordPress editor. I don’t see one anywhere in either place. Where else should I look?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    .htaccess should be in the root of your WP site. The same location as wp-config.php file. Perhaps your FTP client doesn’t show hidden files such as .htaccess
    Check settings of your FTP client (something like “show hidden files”)

    Somehow I fixed the problem.

    I read that you should add this text to the htaccess file but then that it was the same location as the wp-config.php file, so I added it to the wp-config.php file.

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

    # uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ – [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    I GOT ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE….. SO I WENT BACK AND DELETED THIS CODE.

    As soon as I deleted the code, for some strange reason, it worked.

    Thanks for your offering assistance until the problem was resolved.
