PAGE Permalink Change – 404 Not Found

Hi All,

I read 7 other posts on here before resorting to my own post:

I have a current PAGE url: http://www.mywebsite.com/service/service1

I then manually edited the permalink in the page editor UI, clicked OK and “Update”

There is a link to this page in the homepage navigation and when clicked, successfully takes you to the new URL:

http://www.mywebsite.com/service/dog-walking

But it results in a 404/Page not found.

I have tried changing the permissions of the .htaccess to 777 from 644, but it made no difference.

The .htaccess looks like this:

AddType image/svg+xml svg
AddType image/svg+xml svgz
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thank you
