New Permalink Pages give 404 Error

    Recently upgraded to 2.8.4. I have custom permalinks (/%postname%) and all existing pages work fine. Adding a new page causes a 404 error. If I delete records from wp_options where option_name = ‘_transient_rewrite_rules’ then the permalink rewrite rules rebuild and I can access the new page as expected. Now I have to do all these steps EVERY SINGLE TIME I ADD A NEW PAGE?!?

    P.S. .htaccess is configured properly and is writable.

    What can I do to alleviate this problem?

    Hi,

    Add this code in htaccess and have a check with old and new posts:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    I’m sorry but how does that response answer the problem I explained? What’s happening is that new pages that DO exist are resolving to 404 errors (because of permalink caching issues within the wp_options table). Defining a 404 document is not the solution.

    That’s the 1st I’ve ever heard of a permalink cache issue with a table
    you are on a linux server, right?
    If so, try repairing the wp_options table
