 * After migrating my local site live and editing some last bits I suddenly started
   to have permalinks problem. My home page works fine, and also do the some links
   on the primary menu, however when trying to see pages they do not appear. I am
   directed to a seemingly correct page (with the correct url) but my page isn’t
   actually opening. All the pages are existing in my admin panel and I am able 
   to edit them, but if I press preview changes, the faulty page opens again.
 * I have tried deleting and editing htaccess file and trying to reset permalinks
   settings, but for no result.
 * Thank you for your help!

 * What happens if you temporarily switch to the plain (default) permalinks?

 * Not exactly, I moved it live for the first time, not changing servers.
