Page Not found Error

    Hi all.

    When I view the list of users currently on my site, very often many of them are reporting their current page as “Page Not Found”.

    I notice that if I click on a category name on my site it generates a page not found error too.

    It might be relevant that I changed from standard permalinks to pretty permalinks a few months ago, however the redirects are all working fine and it’s been too long for the number of people showing up on my blog with this error to possibly be users following old links.

    Would love to know how to fix this.

    Regards,

    Wade.

    Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

    FYI to anyone interested, the above problem was caused not by missing URLs as such, but by a missing theme file. I think a plugin watch searching for this particular file as part of every page load, therefore every page load was generating a 404 error too.

    Solution – initially I placed a blank file of the name the plugin was looking for at the path it was looking in for it and that stopped the error. Once I realised it was a plugin that was doing this (not a problem with the theme itself) I disabled the plugin.

    However, separate to this is the fact that whenever a user clicks on a category tag (so generate a list of all posts that have that category assigned) that too generates a 404 error – and this time a real one, with an error page being presented to the user. Any thoughts much appreciated.

    Regards,

    Wade.
