Title: 'Not Found' message Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # 'Not Found' message * [susannabarbee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susannabarbee/) * (@susannabarbee) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/) * The past two times I’ve published a post, something weird has happened. It says it published fine, but when you click on the individual link for the blog post or someone from FB or Twitter click on the link, it says “not found”. The post shows up on the home page, but the individual blog link is not working. * It’s not the permalinks because all other individual post links are fine. It’s just been these last two times. * Also, this all started after I tried to set the date to publish a post and did it incorrectly apparently. Since then, I’ve been having issues. I had to get a techy friend of mine yesterday to go in and completely strip my post and re publish. But, I can’t get her to do that every time. Please help! I am so frustrated.

I am a writer and photographer, not so much a technical whiz. Why did it just start happening? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761596) * Switch to the Twenty Twelve theme and deactivate all of your active plugins to see if this helps. * Thread Starter [susannabarbee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susannabarbee/) * (@susannabarbee) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761610) * That did the trick, but now can I get back to a more visually appealing theme and reinstall plugins? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761614) * First try re-activating your plugins one by one – checking the site for a re- occurrence of the problem after each re-activation. Let us know what happens. * Thread Starter [susannabarbee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susannabarbee/) * (@susannabarbee) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761617) * I re-activated them one by one, and the problem never re-occurred. Still in Twenty Twelve theme. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761619) * OK – now try activating your previous theme and see if the issue occurs again. * Thread Starter [susannabarbee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susannabarbee/) * (@susannabarbee) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761621) * The issue did not occur again. Thank you! Two concluding questions. * 1). Can I reactivate plugins? * 2). If this issue occurs again, is this probably the problem? Should I follow these steps again? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761622) * 1) I thought you had already re-activated them. If not, can you do so now? * Thread Starter [susannabarbee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susannabarbee/) * (@susannabarbee) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761629) * I did, sorry. It seems to be working fine. Thanks so much for your help! * Thread Starter [susannabarbee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susannabarbee/) * (@susannabarbee) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761642) * Esmi, * I got the ‘not found’ message again tonight and went back through all of the steps you suggested earlier. I found that the AtContent plugin is the faulty one for some reason. When it’s activated, the ‘Not Found’ message appears. When it’s not activated, the error message does not appear. * Is there anything I can do about this? They claim to help search engines find my blog, so if they do in fact do that, obviously I would like for the plug in to work. * Thanks! * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-found-message-2/#post-3761646) * You may delete the AtContent plugin and re-upload and activate a fresh copy.
