if I change permalink structure, I can no longer create new posts

    Hello friend.

    When I installed WordPress the permalink structure was set to custom, “/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/”.

    If I try to change that to anything else I cannot link to any pages and I cannot create any new posts.

    I tried this on both a unix server and a windows server and had the same problem.

    I tried resaving the permlinks on the settings page but it does not fix this problem.

    What should I do?

    Hello,
    Can you please tell me which theme are you using? Maybe, it’s the theme’s problem. Share the screenshot if possible so that someone could help you.

    The theme is a child theme of twentynineteen.. I know what you are thinking and I used a child theme of twentynineteen so that the theme would have all of the same files and I have made many child themes in the past without this problem.

    There is not really a screenshot because the problem is that I cannot create a new page if I try to change the permalinks. When I try to create a new page and publish it, the page editor returns an error that says “failed to publish’ in a little red box at the top left of the screen.
