Did you reset your permalinks? Go to Admin page > Settings > Permalinks, then click “Save Changes”. Even though there are no changes, this should reset the permalinks.
If the problem persists, please post the url to your site.
I have tried saving the permalinks and I still get the Error 404 Page.
I have reinstalled WordPress, reinstalled the Avada template and deactivated the plugins one at a time to see if they were effecting the edit and none of these worked.
Here is my site:

Please help. I have been working on this for hours now.

Page urls can be modified by .htaccess. Try disabling it temporarily by renaming it. Resetting permalinks will create a new .htaccess.
Your site is giving 30+ files-not-found in the console. I see that its in a subdirectory of your domain so its probably not set up right. Review:

Hi, I renamed the htaccess at the public_html level to htaccessOLD and then save the permalinks on the dashboard. It did create a new htaccess but I still get the 404 error when I try to edit any of my pages.
I get a “Oops, this page could not be found!”
Please help.
Consider deactivating all plugins and switching to the default theme. If it works now, reactivate elements one-by one to try to identify the one that’s causing the problem.
If it still doesn’t work, it could be happening because you are running WordPress in a subdirectory and have not fully followed the method for doing so. Review:

Hi Again,
I deactivated all my plugins and still I get Error 404, Page not found.
I switched to a default template with no plugins active and still get the same error.
I went through the process of giving WordPress its own directory again (something I have done numerous times with no issues and have 2 other sites running with this setup currently and having no issues with them).
Can you think of anything else that may be creating this issue?
Thanks.

Maybe the WordPress install did not fully complete. Try reinstalling from a fresh download. Don’t overwrite wp-config.php or the wp-content directory.
Do you have a file at wp-admin/error_log? Its a plain text file and may have a clue.
Ultimately consider creating a new install in another subdirectory with a fresh database and downloads. Add elements one at a time and check each time. Content can be exported/imported. Sounds like a big job but maybe less work than tracking down the cause.
