Title: Permalinks continuously break Last modified: December 17, 2022 --- # Permalinks continuously break * [benhamdam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benhamdam/) * (@benhamdam) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/) * Every day or so, I have to resave permalinks to solve a 404 –oops this page cannot be found– situation. Please advise! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpermalinks-continuously-break%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16298664) * Hi, * Strange, does the permalink structure also change at page Settings > Permalinks? * Guido * Thread Starter [benhamdam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benhamdam/) * (@benhamdam) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16298674) * No change there. infact, nothing changes. When I get the –oops..– notification, the simple fix is just to resave. Ofc this is not an ideal situation as sometime i dont notice for a day or 2 :/ * Plugin Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16298716) * This is new to me. How is your permalink set on the settings page? Post name? * Is it an option for you to change back the base to “event” (= default) and see what happens? * And do you have another plugin that hooks into the permalink structure perhaps? * Guido * Thread Starter [benhamdam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benhamdam/) * (@benhamdam) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16298751) * I have tried the default setting. I haven’t tried the testing to see if another plugin hooks into the permalink structure. How could I test that out?Thanks for all your support. 5 stars. * Plugin Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16299197) * Hi, * A permalink setting should not change all of a sudden. Do you have another plugin with a custom post type perhaps? Or a optimization plugin? * Guido * Thread Starter [benhamdam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benhamdam/) * (@benhamdam) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16300507) * Plugins: Advanced Custom Fields plugin installed.Autoptimise.The only other thing I can think of is that; I tried another events plugin (guilty!) around the time VSL started playing up. I noticed they shared the same /events/ base. Could this be it and if so, how to fix? (note- this plugin is now deleted). * Plugin Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16301557) * Don’t think the other events plugin causes this. It’s deleted so it cannot do anything anymore. Maybe a setting in the Autoptimize plugin? Or ask your hosting provider, maybe they can find out what’s happening now and then with the permalink( eror log?). * Guido * [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16301633) * never say never, but very unlikely to be due to Autoptimize; there’s nothing in AO that “touches” permalinks .. :-/ * frank (ao dev) * Thread Starter [benhamdam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benhamdam/) * (@benhamdam) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16301654) * Do you have any idea other suggestions of what it might be? * Plugin Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16302496) * [@optimizingmatters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) : thanks 🙂 * There should be something else causing this, because it also goes wrong with the default slug (event). You can test this by adding another custom post type with the [Custom Post Type UI](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/) plugin. Create a new custom post type and a single post for this post type. And wait a couple of days. * Guido * [Martin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlaba/) * (@dlaba) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-continuously-break/#post-16773316) * Hi, * I am now facing exactly the same issue. I am running website in two languages EN and CZ, every 1-2 days the EN pages permalinks break, but the CZ pages permalinks are ok. I have Polylang for translations, but slug is not translated by the plugin. Everytime I just save (flush) the permalinks and it is repaired, but same as [@benhamdam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benhamdam/) I am not checking every hour… * I did Theme upgrade in April, few weeks after that the permalink issue started. The theme supplier says that the theme does nothing with permalinks… * Have any solution been found for this in the meantime?
