I moved my site from host A to host B. Now homepage opens and shows posts but when I click on any post or page, it gives 404 error.
I changed .htaccess file with various variations but no result. When I changed permalinks to default (?=id), it started working fine.
Now if I change permalinks back to postnames, it again gives 404 error.
My site is http://mixapk.net/
According to this this article, main reason for this might be the server configuration missing mod_rewrite module being loaded.

I'm currently running into a strange problem with Wordpress on my production server. When I try to visit non-existing URLs, Wordpress doesn't trigger a 404 when the url has more than 3 segments, for example:
These pages don't exists and trigger a 404 page:
http://example.com/9
http://example.com/9/9
These also dont exist, but don't trigger a 404 page and show the homepage (with 200 response code):
http://example.com/9/9/9
http://example.com/9/9/9/9
http://example.com/9/9/9/9/9
On my local machine all above pages show a 404 (as expected). The server (and my local machine) are both running nginx >10.16, both nginx vhost configs are almost equal. Running PHP72-fpm.
Debugging I already did:
Disable functions.php in theme folder
Disable all plugins
Switch to other theme
Disable cloudflare caching
Flush permalinks
All without any success unfortunately.. I'm kinda running out of options for debugging, I hope anyone has got any suggestions!
I just found out that locally I'm running PHP73, on the production server PHP72. I've just upgraded the production server from PHP72 to PHP73 and the problem seems to be fixed!
So my WordPress site worked perfectly on my localhost, until I transferred it to my Windows Server machine. Now, only the index still works; the other pages give me a 404 error.
I have already tried changing permalink options and other fixes, but nothing has worked.
How I can get my other pages online?
Its too easy
go to wp-admin in your WordPress.
in dashboard go to settings.
in settings go to Permalink Settings.
in Permalink Settings if your Common Settings set on Day and name or anything else change it to Plain.
save the setting and go to your web pages.
if every things work correctly back to Permalink Settings and change Common Settings on Day and name or anything you want.
I tried to change my WP subdirectory from www.example.com/test to www.example.com/live, and frontpage and login works as it should. But when I try to access former articles or pages, or create new I just get a 404 error.
E.g www.example.com/live/my-first-article gives 404, then redirects to frontpage (www.example.com).
I've defined the site URL and home URL in wp-config, changed the name of the folder, and changed "test" to "live" everywhere in the database.
Anyone have an idea or encountered this problem before?
It is most likely your .htaccess file which isnt updated. You can update it by going to
Settings > Permalinks > Save Changes
I've seen some other people with the same issue on net,
but the solution that worked for them (updating the .htacess file), didn't go very well for me!
I used buddypress to migrate my wordpress site to my local pc, but after everything is setup, only the home page is working, other posts or pages are getting 404 errors, I also tried to deactivate plugins and changing the theme, but nothing worked.
I'm on windows 10 and i'm using wampserver 2.5.
I think that the issue is caused by Apache, but I don't know how to fix it!
my Apache version is 2.4.9
Thanks in advance guys :)
Your site’s permalink (WordPress Admin > Settings > Permalink) is set as Default, please change it to any of the other option available below. e.g: Day and name, Post name etc.
Then you’ll be able to access the board instead of the 404 error.
Another way is troubleshooting:
WordPress sites can complicate the 404 troubleshooting process. Why? WordPress is a content management system that processes its own internal rewrite array as a part of its permalinks feature.
The first step to troubleshooting 404s is to figure out whether the 404 is being caused by the web server or by WordPress.
Static file
If your file is static (e.g. a jpg image) open your FTP client and verify that the file exists.
As an example, let’s say that the URL http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/picture.jpg is producing a 404 error. You will want to:
Open FTP Client and connect to your server (if you don’t know how to do so, read this.)
Navigate to the file’s location
Verify that the file exists
If it is does not exist, you have found the source of your 404.
However, it it does exist, yet pulling the URL up in a browser results in a 404 error, continue on to find out whether the issue is web server-based or WordPress-based.

For more than 4 days now, i cannot publish my WordPress website.
It shows: 404 Error when i try to publish a post in the website or do anything that will load to another page.
Also i cannot work on the widget area because it's not saving any work there.
I have tried re-saving the permalinks and also even deleted the .htaccess file and upload another one and yet no sign of working.
What is the main problem please?
404 Errors are usually URL related. Make sure Wordpress and all of your plugins are up to date. I would also change your permalink settings and see what happens.
