404 Errors

    Hi everyone, I’ve run into some troubles that I can’t seem to get rid of no matter what I try. I’ve been looking all over the internet and I can’t seem to fix this. I currently have a website and I am working on a subdomain of it (gren.corinasesthetics.com) and everytime I go to click on a page other than the home page, I get a 404 error. When I go into Permalinks and change the setting to “default”, all of the pages work perfectly fine. However, when I change the setting to “Post Name” or anything else, I get a 404 error. I looked it up and some websites say delete the .htaccess file or add some special code into it, so I did, and nothing new happened. I also found out that everytime I delete or alter the name of .htaccess, and save changes again in Permalinks, .htaccess does not get updated. Any changes I make in cPanel do not fix the website, and any changes I make in WordPress do not update the .htaccess file in cPanel. If anyone can provide some insight on what to do I would really appreciate it.

    If default setting works, then try reading Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure again.

    If clearing your Permalinks does not alleviate the issue, this could be attributed to anything from a web server configuration to a bad WordPress install.

    I’ve managed to fix the problem. I had to delete the .htaccess file, create a new one, and change the permissions to 664. Thank you very much for your help.
