It is a quite simple procedure, here’s the short tutorial – [https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/wordpress-features/reset-permalinks](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/wordpress-features/reset-permalinks) * Also, do you have some security plugin installed, maybe it interferes with the preview functionality? * Kind regards. * [dogel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dogel/) * (@dogel) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-with-preview/#post-10723145) * Hi, * I’d like to add that I am experiencing the same problem on a site I made. “WordPress address” and “Site address” are the same, I reset the permalinks and still – 404 error. Also my .htaccess file contains the following, as described in other posts about this problem: * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress * But all that doesn’t help… * Note: The 404 error only is displayed when calling previews – regular links to posts and pages work as expected. * [jarektheme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jarektheme/) * (@jarektheme) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-with-preview/#post-10730848) * Hi [@dogel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dogel/), * Please first deactivate all your plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate all plugins one by one to see which one cause that issue. * If that doesn’t help please temporarily activate default WordPress theme like Twenty Seventeen and see if you are stil having that issue. * Your .htaccess file seems to be standard file with normal rules. * Cheers Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘404 error with preview’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/kale/2.8.2/screenshot.jpg) * Kale * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/kale/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/kale/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/kale/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/kale/reviews/) * 8 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [jarektheme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jarektheme/) * Last activity: [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-with-preview/#post-10730848) * Status: not resolved
