You don’t need to save anything, just visit that page. * [shamanicconnection](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shamanicconnection/) * (@shamanicconnection) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-404-439/#post-3638725) * I am having the same issue, and I have flushed the permalinks (several times). I am working on my site, and every time I add or update a plugin, the wp publications quit working. * Simply visiting the permalinks doesn’t seem to flush them, so the archive works again. If I go to the permalinks and change it to the default, they work fine. Then I change back to my custom structure /%category%/%postname%, sometimes they will work, sometimes not. I may have to repeat this process several times to get it to stick. * I love the archive and the way it looks and works (when it does). Hopefully we can get this fixed so that the permalinks stay put through changes. * Thanks- Debbie [http://shamanicconnection.com](http://shamanicconnection.com) * [May Higurashe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/may-higurashe/) * (@may-higurashe) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-404-439/#post-3638760) * I’m having the same issue. I’ve looked at the code, trying to find what could be wrong, but it all seems to be in order. I have no idea what to do to fix it. * I have flushed the permalinks more than once and it doesn’t work either. * The site is in portuguese, but I was careful not to let the language break the code. * Here’s an exemple of what’s going on: [http://cac-uerj.com.br/publicados/fernandes/](http://cac-uerj.com.br/publicados/fernandes/) * Every “Open” or “Download” link loads the 404 error. * Thanks, May [http://naiveheart.org](http://naiveheart.org) * Plugin Author [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-404-439/#post-3638761) * There is a pending update that will (hopefully) fix this issue.

My site is not working properly and I know people can download the files ok but it doesn’t look too good. * I really like this plugin and don’t want to change but does anyone know of any others that are similar and don’t break as much? * Thanks. * Thread Starter [wassouf2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wassouf2012/) * (@wassouf2012) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-404-439/#post-3638780) * I switched to: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/) * Quite helpful replacement plugin. * Hope this helps. * [mt78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mt78/) * (@mt78) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-404-439/#post-3638804) * I have the same issue, permalink set and update to %postname% but not working:-/ I will go out.

If this is a conflict with WPML, and downgrading works for you, then downgrade. Otherwise, please contact the support team at WPML where you are paying to support the plugin. * [dilasso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dilasso/) * (@dilasso) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-404-439/#post-3638819) * But I don’t use WPML and have the same problem.: * Using Standard Permalinks solves the problem! But of course I don’t want to use Standard Permalinks just because of one plugin. * Hope there is a solution coming soon!
