Thank you. I keep a copy of all of our websites in a subdirectory on the same server and the restore from Akeeba didn't correctly change the htaccess file. I copied the site to a local server and that worked fine because the site was in the root of the copy of the domain. It appeared that the htaccess file had only ". /index.php [L]
" when it should have had ". /subfoldername.com/index.php [L]". I assume that it was looking in the root of the server (up to the top instead of in the subfolder) for the subpage addresses? So I did the admin > Settings > Permalinks and Saved the changes and it worked. I studied the changes compared to the old htaccess file. Thank you so very much. You saved me hours of work.

I can't believe it's just as simple as that. I just migrated from one host to another and had this problem. I almost lost my mind when it happened. Thank you very much for this single, but amazing fix.

What if you're using Nginx and the first permalinks step didn't work? I don't know how WordPress glitched like this… Ok I just fixed it! Here's what I did:
I had custom structure always selected with https://siteroo.design/blog/%category%/%postname%/
But in Optional I also had Category base with blog, so I I removed blog from the base and my post started working again. Weird because I thought it was working 2 days ago with the same setting. :/

Thank you!! This worked! I did have to go to permalinks and switch to post name instead of day and name and then save changes. It worked perfectly!

if this doesn't solve, next thing to check is that mod_rewrite is enabled in apache

Wow, THANK YOU! I hadn't a clue why I started getting 404 messages. I'd looked at some videos with long workarounds. Then I found this. Fully functioning again within less than 5 seconds. Amazing.
One page still came up with a 404 error. But a quick page refresh, after your initial step, fixed it.

Simple & Lovely
September 25, 2020 @ 4:23 pm
THANKS A LOT
September 25, 2020 @ 4:23 pm
It solved my problem as well. Thanks! But can anyone explain why this error occurs or why a "no changes" solved the issue? It were obviously no changes necessary (if done with the first method)
September 25, 2020 @ 4:23 pm
Why didn't this work for me? 🙁
September 25, 2020 @ 4:23 pm

Did not work. The blog works fine if you go to the main page. But clicking any link brings up the 404 error. I did everything the video said to do. HELP?
