    The link in this post has .html, this was the google result, however it displays a 404 when you try to open it and displays my 404 message. However if you remove .html it displays correctly. Why does the site do this for .html extentions?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi, @ltribble

    I searched your website on google and seems that Google has indexed many *.html pages for your website, but in fact your permalink structure does not use it. It used that structure in the past (when it was indexed by google) but not anymore.

    If you want to use the permalink structure containing .html you can follow the steps below, based on this article

    1. Log in to your WordPress site dashboard
    2. Go to Settings > Permalinks settings page
    3. Choose Custom Structure
    4. For adding .html to the end of URLs, simply add “.html” at the end of the URL structure.

    Suggested URL structures for your indexed urls would be:

    /%postname%.html

    Hope this helps,
    Kind regards
