I ended up messing around a bit and fixing this issue.

For anyone else having this issue here is what I did:

I think the issue may have been that I was naming the blog the same as I was naming my subdirectory that I had wordpress installed in. So, I had all of my files inside of a folder named news, and I was trying to have my blog page named news. This was causing it to go to the /news directory and not finding an index file. I renamed my wordpress page “blog” and changed the permalink.

Yes, In my settings I have:

WordPress address (URL) https://www.richard-gaston-photography.com/news

Blog address (URL) https://www.richard-gaston-photography.com

I guess the only thing I can think of is that all of my other pages are actual pages I have created where the blog page has always just “worked”. There is not a .php file in my directory that I can point to, or a page that I have created to point to.

You can view my posts fine if you click on them from the side, a sample url of those is:
https://www.richard-gaston-photography.com/2009/11/19/post-processing/

This URL dos not really give me any idea of how to access my blog though, since in normal situations I would think that this would mean that my blog would be found at the site root, which is not the case.

yes I went on my host and copied the text as it stood in the file

This is what was generated for wordpress for the new permalink structure
