Is this something to do with permalinks?
To find out, try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting and renaming your WordPress .htaccess file. If that works, then try reading Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure again.
Hi Tara,
Thanks so much for the reply.
Dense question – how do I rename my htaccess file and what should I rename it as?

for example, rename such as: htaccessHOLD
You can use FTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides
Hi,
I’ve managed to find my .htaccess file within Yoast SEO. It says the following (copy and pasted) but I’m not sure what I need to change?
Also, Google finds my posts but says “A description for this result is not available because of this site’s robots.txt”. Is this related to the htaccess problem too?
