 * hi
 * this past week i discovered that all the pages of my recently newly designed 
   site (except the home page -http://sacredriver.co.za, which is working fine),
   when i try to access them, give me the 404 not found error (‘the requested url
   is not found on this server’). however, when i check the pages’ urls on the ‘
   edit page’ pages, their urls are in fact correct. i’ve tried to follow the other
   forum posts on this error message but have not been able to figure out what the
   problem is.
 * thank you,
 * fritz

 * 1. Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks.
 * 2. How is your site hosted? Your own server or a commercial host?
 * 3. Try going to “settings->permalinks” and click “save”.

 * hi steven
 * thank you for your response – much appreciated.
 * 1. [http://sacredriver.co.za/fundamental-uncertainty/](http://sacredriver.co.za/fundamental-uncertainty/)
   
   2. hosted by commercial host which i access via cPanel 3. i’ve done this again
   now, message at top appearing, ‘permalink structure updated’, but no change …
   all pages except home page still gives 404 error page. (i’ve tried to find the.
   htaccess file via cPanel, but can’t find it in the ‘public_html’ root directory).
 * thanks

 * Please contact your hosting company and ask them if your hosting plan supports.
   htaccess files. If your hosting plan doesn’t support .htaccess files, you should
   find a new hosting company. If they do, ask them how .htaccess files are accessed
   and edited…the files may be set up in a way that only allows editing through 
   cPanel.

   there. please advise how i should edit it to solve my problem as above? here 
   is the existing .htaccess file:
 *     ```
       # Wordfence WAF
       <IfModule LiteSpeed>
       php_value auto_prepend_file '/home/sacredri/public_html/wordfence-waf.php'
       </IfModule>
       <IfModule lsapi_module>
       php_value auto_prepend_file '/home/sacredri/public_html/wordfence-waf.php'
       </IfModule>
       <Files ".user.ini">
