    But all the
   pages can not be accessed. I checked .htaccess and found no problem

       RewriteEngine On
   
       RewriteBase /

       # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

 * If I read correctly this is the answer you may be looking for.
 * “Archive pages, whether post type archive pages, category archives, date archives
   etc, search pages, single pages and the homepage are pseudo pages, in other words,
   fake pages. They don’t have ID’s as they do not exist because they are not created
   pages which is saved in the db
 * These pages “inherits” the ID of the specific post or archive they display, although
   they still don’t have an ID themselves, accept the homepage, date archives, search
   pages and post type archive pages
 * So, in short, your custom post archive page will not have an ID.”

 * And are you changing each individual link to that new structure or changing the
   structure under your permalink settings? They should all change automatically
   when you change your permalinks, but I would double check to make sure that they
   did.
