    Hi,
    I have a wordpress site that got hacked with malware redirection. It has been cleaned but now my custom menu doesn’t work the links are permalinks (see below). I get a http 404 when I try to access the link. Also when I type in the browser http://elliotequineconnections/71-2/ I get a Http 404. Any insight into my problem would be most appreciated

    <!– Start css3menu.com BODY section id=1 –>
    <ul id=”css3menu1″ class=”topmenu”>
    <li class=”topmenu”>Home
    <li class=”topmenu”>Horse Training
    <li class=”topmenu”>Lessons
    <li class=”topmenu”>Sale and Events
    <li class=”topmenu”>Bio
    <li class=”topmenu”>Contact
    <li class=”toplast”>Doterra

    <p style=”display:none”>Vertical Drop Down CSS Menu Css3Menu.com</p>
    <!– End css3menu.com BODY section –>

    Did you reinstall the code for your menu?

    Were those the right urls/links before?

    Hi,
    Yes I reinstalled the code for my menu. I double checked that the permalinks were the same. I submitted a trouble ticket to HostPapa. They said that my .htaccess file did not have the rewrite rules for the permalinks to work. Does that sound right? Before I sent the .htaccess file to them and there was just one rewrite rule for index.php. This is before I had problems with the links not working.
    So I am questioning if that is right. Does that sound right to you?

    It actually makes perfect sense, the htaccess file is the cause of everything, i also want you to check in your wordpress general dashboard >> settings , make sure that the wordpress & the site address has the same url. Sometimes that changes and can cause trouble.

    Thanks for your help. The .htaccess file was restored and it worked!
