When clicked, permalinks show dead pages (404)

    I have encountered a weird problem in a site I’m currently developing. I’ve done multiple wordpress sites and have never encountered this so I don’t really know where I could possibly start looking.

    https://pensionrosenheim.at/beta is where you can find the index file of my theme. This works fine like it should, but, when clicking on any of the links in the navigation menu (those are the correct links, I checked) I get a 404. Thing is, it’s not the 404.php I uploaded into my theme, which probably means that it can’t find any of my theme’s files, or the template directory.

    What could possibly be wrong? I can’t think of anything that would cause this, as these are the most basic wordpress functions there are, as far as I know.

  • What permalink structure are you using?

    Looks like your .htaccess file is missing. WordPress should be able to regenerate a new one for you by going to settings – permalinks and clicking save.

    If it is not able to write the file it will give you the code to copy and paste into your .htaccess file.

    The last one, that uses the title. So the homepage would link to https://…./beta/home and about would link to https://…./beta/about

    Chris, alright that sounds like a good reason. Would moving it from the beta folder to the root cause any problems when I do get it working in the beta folder?

    Works like magic, thanks ?? I guess I should’ve seen this coming, had to create the wp-config.php file by myself too. Server settings I guess?
