I am trying to open my website but it keeps giving me a 404 error. I checked multiple sources and tried different solutions to solve the error, for example, I have tried:
permalinks changes
.htaccess file current code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>)**
However, the problem still exists. Also, after doing the desired changes now I am getting the following error:
This page isn’t working paracha.tech redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
Let me know if anyone can help.
Thanks
I was also facing a similar problem but I solved it with the help of these simple steps.
Go to Settings > General and click Save Changes.
Go to Settings > Permalinks and click on save changes
Go to Settings > General and check what you have for Site Address and WordPress Address. The site address should be where you want the front end of the site to be, and the WordPress address is where your WordPress files live.
Based on the htaccess code you posted, it sounds like both of these settings should be your regular domain name without anything changed.
Also, sometimes after making these changes, you have to flush your permalinks settings. So, go to Settings > Permalinks and just click the Save Changes button again.

I have uploaded WordPress website to a new server which is working fine. But Permalinks settings are not working. All other pages returning me 404 error.
and below in my .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
please check the apache module rewrite.
in a root wordpress folder insert into index.php phpinfo();
and find this string mod_rewrite. If it`s not, tell it your hoster support
To fix this error one can also try this method:
Open phpmyadmin > wordpress database > wp_options table
Here check first two fields and update option_value with correct WordPress location. After that reload the permalink, hopefully the error might gone
Go to "wp-admin", open settings->permalinks and update the permalink settings, it will update the .htaccess file on your server. Hard refresh your site, now all the links will be work perfectly.
there's a one tiny trick to update all links if you can access admin .
you just go to permalinks options from settings page and save permalinks to default and after saving it you may change again and update. This will work in most cases for me either its SSL based issue or urls mismatch. don't forget to view .htaccess file if you have old server and having multiple rewrites.
I've recently relocated a WordPress site to a new host. I followed the instructions from here and things seemed to go ok. However on the old host the installation was inside a sub-folder (news). On the new host I want it in the public_html folder. All files are up, I have made the appropriate changes to the wp_config file, I have edited the .htaccess file and removed any references to the old path, I have even gone into the wp_options table and made the url changes there.
However for some reason whenever I reference the index.php, it tries to point back to the old sub-folder location. I've looked in the wp-settings, wp-load files etc and for the life of me cannot find where the bad path information is.
I've gone to the wordpress.org site and several other sites, any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: I deleted my wp_config file and the system asked me to setup, so I did. During the setup it recognized that the database was there, etc, and sent me to the login. I was able to login, looked at the settings, etc and they are all as they are supposed to be.
If I go directly to wp-admin or wp-login it lets me log in with no problem. however when I try to go to the site, nothing, however instead of showing the old url, it now shows a blank screen.
Thanks
First of all make sure that your whole database does not contain any references to the old installation otherwise some redirection may be active. For migrating your database nowadays you use the following tool to make sure that also serialized data does not contain any references to the old URL:

Can you reach your backend? If only the frontend does not work its probably a permalink problem update your permalinks by going to Settings -> Permalinks -> Save (Update)
Check your index.php and the index.php file from the main directory and also from the subdirectory if there any redirection is active
Do a search (and replace) for the content of all files within your WordPress installation and check for any possible hardcoded redirection
It MUST be one of those problems.
If still no success debug your WordPress installation step-by-step (with echo "reached"; die;) to find out WHEN the redirection is happening - important points to check:
index.php file
wp-config.php file
Action Hook 'init'
Action Hook 'template_redirect'
This might also be helpful: http://rachievee.com/the-wordpress-hooks-firing-sequence/
Check your .htaccess file.
You probably have something that looks like this(notice the subfolder):
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subfolder/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /subfolder/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
When you should actually have something that looks like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
First although neither of the two posted answers solved the problem, they both were instrumental in helping me figure out what was wrong, so I voted each of them up.
Since I could log into the admin area, I knew things were pointing to the correct place. But I was still getting a blank page, well it turns out that somehow in the ftp transfer of the backup site to the server, the 'themes' folder didn't make it. Once I uploaded that folder, things are close to being back to normal.
Again, the advice I received helped me tremendously in troubleshooting this sucker. Thanks
I am having a lot of problem because error 404 is not going. I have changed the permalinks to /%postname%/ . Since then I am getting 404 when I try to move to any page other than "Home". Home works fine.
Website : http://www.jitechnologies.com (The website is built by a non-professional, so please ignore the design for now). Website is hosted and the hosting company does not allow me to edit the web.config file. So please suggest your resolution accordingly.
I have checked the .htaccess code several times and here it is for your reference:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I have removed all plug-ins.
I changed the permalink structure to "Default" then everything works perfectly. but, /%postname%/ again I start getting 404 Errors.
Is there something I am missing out. I request some technical help for this resolution.
Thanks in advance.
I had this same problem before and it was because I didn't upload wordpress to the root folder of my domain. Make sure it is. If that doesn't work, clear the cookies in your browser. If that doesn't work, create a backup of your database through your cPanel and then re-install Wordpress making sure it is in the correct root folder on your domain. Without seeing everything you are talking about, it is hard to say for sure, but I am sure it doesn't have anything to do with your web.config file.
If you do all of these things and re-install wordpress, it should work just fine. Again, this sounds like the exact same thing that happened to me about a year ago, so give it a try. If that doesn't work it must be your permissions.. Check the 'all permissions' box when you create your new database from your cPanel if everything else has still failed. This means you will be starting from scratch essentially, but wordpress has so many good features, this shouldn't be such a terrible thing.
Im running a WordPress site with qTranslate installed.
The URLS are currently displayed as http://domain.com/en/ but i would like to change them to
http://en.domain.com
How do i make this work? qTranslate has a built-in pre-domain mode, which should do exactly what i need. But all it does is change the links (works), when visiting the page i get a 404 error.
In the admin it says "Pre-Path and Pre-Domain mode will only work with mod_rewrite/pretty permalinks. Additional Configuration is needed for Pre-Domain mode!"
I got pre-path working and i think im using pretty permalinks (/%category%/%postname%/), but ive got no idea what kind of 'additional configuration' is needed.
My .htaccess looks like this (i think standard wp output);
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I tried a lot of different things found online, but i mostly get internal server errors or just the 404.
Thanks in advance!
If your default url starts with www (like www.domain.com) then your translated urls will look like en.www.domain.com.
But if you try to login en.domain.com, you may think that your plugin doesn't working.
Before try anything be sure that any subdomains shows your WordPress homepage. With default settings WordPress should not redirect to you anywhere.
Then set your default url without www prefix (for ex. domain.com)
And check the permalink finally
If you fail at any steps, disable all plugins and even change your theme to default one.
You'd have to add wildcard domain setting at your DNS settings for the domain. https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Wildcard_Subdomains

I'm using Wordpress 3.1.1 and recently reorganized my page (deleted and moved a lot of pages). Now I get 404-errors when accessing some pages (all posts and tags work fine).
I can disable the permalinks and then access all pages without problems. I can also rename the pages (e.g. contact --> contact1) and all links work again for the new names. However, if I rename them back, I get the same 404 error again. It seems like some kind of caching-problem. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!
My .htaccess for the root directory:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Try clearing your 'trash' can in Wordpress, annoyingly items in the trash area still use a permalink, and when accessing those links you'd get 404 message.
Also delete your htaccess file (if it has no additional settings in it), and the reset your permalink settings.

I finally solved it. I realized, that there were some page names, that produced a server 404 and some, that don't. Then I took a closer look at my directory structure:
I access my blog from the root path (not the worpdrpess-directory which is located in it). So I can enter
www.myurl.com
instead of
www.myurl.com/wordpress
So far, so good. However, I had some files in my root directory, that had the same name as the page I was trying to access.
Eg. if there is a contact.abc (the extension doesn't matter) in the root folder, then getting
www.myurl.com/contact
will produce a 404-error. If I rename the file everything works fine. Hopefully, that will help others as well.
