   Hi, I’ve been running my site using WordPress (dpinterface.com) for several months now. Today my site suddenly became ‘not found’ and 404 everywhere. I could log into my admin panel and I can still see my posts and all, but my homepage displays a 404 not found error, so do all my WordPress pages, and WordPress posts. Practically the entire front end of my site powered by WordPress is on 404 all of a sudden and I have no idea why. Before I swapped over to WordPress, I had a ‘static’ (manually updated) site, and the remaining non-WP pages from those times are still showing (example: dpinterface.com/news is a non-Wordpress generated part of the site and working) – so this is definitely an error on the WordPress side.

   I did a search before this and tried looking for solutions, but I have yet to find any. The WordPress version I am using is the latest – 2.8.4, which I upgraded to two weeks ago. I am not using any ‘Redirection’ plugin, I tried deleting and re-uploading my .htaccess and 404.php files, but to no avail. The Not Found pages are still showing, the last activity on my WordPress site was yesterday where I posted an article (no backend changes) and I could still see the site and went to bed. And all of a sudden, I find out today that the entire site is on 404. The index.php files and all are still in my public_html folder. I have deactivated all my plugins and even reverted to the default WordPress theme, and been waiting for a few hours now – still, the site ‘cannot be found’.

   I would be greatly appreciative if anyone could help out.

   I get "500 Internal Server Error".

   I tried deleting and re-uploading my .htaccess...

   I have deactivated all my plugins and even reverted to the default WordPress theme...

   Contact your web host, it could be that they are having server problems.

   Hi,

   Try to add this code in htaccess and have a check:

   # BEGIN WordPress

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   @Shane G - Nope, tried that already, doesn't seem to work.
   @iridiax - many of my readers seem to reporting a 404 error, and I've been seeing a 404 error too

   So far, the site still cannot be found, still 404

   Do you know what they had done? I am getting the same error. I've tried installing the wordpress and theme onto a new directory and getting the same "page not found" for my non-index page (all pages and posts). When I go in the admin area, they all appear there without issue. The home page loads perfectly fine.

   My resolution:

   change the permalinks to the id#

   once that is determined to work, change them back to whatever you had them.
