  4. What exactly is a WordPress 404 Error? 1

  5. The 404 error is an HTTP response code that happens when the server is unable to locate the file or page that the user has requested. In response, the web hosting server provides the user the error message "404 Not Found." WordPress 404 errors are typical when: You've recently moved your website to a new host. You updated the permalink structure of your URL but did not redirect to the previous URL. You lack file permissions. You have navigated to a wrong URL. The plugin/theme was poorly coded. ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ Many WordPress themes provide unique layouts and content choices for displaying the 404 error page. How to Repair a 404 Error in WordPress (8 Troubleshooting Solutions) This guide will teach you how to rapidly resolve the 404 Not Found error code. So let's get started 5

  6. 1. Delete Browser History and Cookies A complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image, namely making it possible to absorb large amounts of data quickly. 6

  7. 2. Configure Your Permalinks If, aside from your homepage, your other WordPress website pages return a 404 page not found error, you may alter your permalink settings by following the instructions below: Access your WordPress Dashboard. Go to Permalinks Settings. Choose Default settings. Save your changes by clicking the Save button. Return the settings to their former state. If you have a custom structure, return it. Click the Save Settings button. ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ 7

  8. 3. Restore the.htaccess File Because.htaccess is a hidden file, you must make all files visible in your FTP client. It is usually a good idea to backup your site before making any changes to files or pages. Take the following steps: Log in to your server using an FTP client. Download the .htaccess file which is located in the same location as folders like /wp-content/ wp-admin /wp-includes/. Open the downloaded file in any text editor. Visit the WordPress .htaccess support page and copy/paste the version of the code that is most suitable for your website. Save the .htaccess file and upload it to the live server. ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ 8

  9. 4. Create a 301 Redirect If you've updated the URL of a certain page but haven't yet redirected it, it's time to do so. You may use a plugin or a.htaccess file to redirect your previous post/page. If you're familiar with.htaccess, add the following code to your.htaccess file. Remember to change the URLs with those from your own website. 9

  10. 5. Deactivating Plugins/Themes A 404 error on your WordPress site might be caused by an old or badly built plugin. To test this, disable all plugins and switch to a different theme. 10

  11. 6. Modify and Update the WordPress URL in the Database On your WordPress website, you may get the following error notice. 11

  12. 7. Resolve the WordPress 404 Error on Local Servers Many designers and developers use a local server for staging purposes while installing WordPress on their PCs and laptops. The inability to get URL rewriting rules to operate is a typical issue with WordPress local server deployments. You can try to update the permalinks for posts and pages, but the website will eventually display the WordPress "404 Not Found" warning. 12

  13. 8. A Different Approach If none of the solutions above work, you may attempt the alternate technique to resolve the 404 issue. Go to your local server. Navigate to the Apache folder, then to the "conf" folder. Navigate to the httpd.conf configuration file. Look for anything like this: #LoadModule rewrite module modules/mod rewrite.so Remove the "#" symbol to make it appear like this: LoadModule modules/mod rewrite.so rewrite module ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ ⊹ 13
