How to fix 404 error in wordpress website
« on: June 05, 2023, 12:58:36 AM »
To fix a 404 error on a WordPress website, you can try the following steps:

1. Check the URL: Ensure that the URL you are trying to access is correct and matches the intended page or post.

2 Reset Permalinks: Go to your WordPress Dashboard, click on "Settings" and then "Permalinks." Choose any option and click on "Save Changes." This will reset the permalinks and can sometimes fix the 404 error.

3. Disable Plugins: If the issue persists, try disabling all your WordPress plugins and then check if the error disappears. If it does, re-enable the plugins one-by-one until you find the culprit plugin causing the error.

4. Check the .htaccess file: Check if the .htaccess file in the root directory of your WordPress installation is correct. If it's incorrect or missing, replace it with a new one.

5. Contact your hosting provider: If none of the above steps work, it's possible that the issue is with your hosting provider. Contact them to check if there are any server-related issues causing the 404 error.

These steps should help you fix the 404 error on your WordPress website.
