 * I keep getting recurring 404 page not found errors on post pages on my website,(
   www.socialwarriors.co.uk), that are only resolved by me changing the permalink
   format, with it then being OK for perhaps a couple of hours and then it again
   starts throwing 404 page not found errors on post pages until I again change 
   the format of the permalinks.
 * It’s the same with archive pages although static pages are OK.
 * Has anybody got any idea what can be causing this and how I can resolve it ?
 * Best wishes,
 * Holmey1

 * Have you checked to see if the .htaccess file in the WordPress root folder is
   being corrupted?

 * I’ve downloaded my current .HTACCESS file and when it happens again I’ll check
   to see if it’s changed.
 * Can you tell me what would be causing the .HTACCESS file to get corrupted please.

 * Impossible for us to say really. It can happen sometimes to the best of hosts
   but, if it’s happening that regularly to you, then it suggests that the server/
   hosts have problems.
