Hi people
just wondering if there's anybody floating about that can help me with a slight problem.
I have been doing a little change up on my wordpress site, tidying it up and sorting out internal link structures etc.
I have just done a post which would mean a link such as
http://mysite.com/post-name/
but its giving me a 404 error.. how do i track down the problem? I really cant see why its doing this..
thanks in advance

  • In all this tidying up have you perhaps turned on SEF links/ Search Engine Friendly links?
  • thanks for reply...where would i turn on sef links?

    • You dont want to turn them on now if you have already built the site. That is something you normally do with a fresh install. Doing it after the install can cause the problems you are having but seeing as you dont know where it is I dont think that is what happened.. Is there a way you could sent me the code from the page that these links are on? That would greatly help!
  • It's likely an issue with your .htaccess file. Make sure there is a copy in the root of your WordPress installation (as well as the site root if different). Set it's permissions to 777 (writable) and update your permalinks inside WordPress again. Afterwards change the .htaccess permissions back to their previous setting.
