    Hi I don’t know what I’m going on. When the “get the book” button is clicked, it should go to the /?page_id=791&preview=true but I get a 404 error message. If I’m right, it’s because it has the “preview=true”. For some reason I can’t preview that page outside of my admin account. I have done it dozens of times before, I just do can’t figure out why it’s not working now. I’m attaching the screenshots of the directory if that helps.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @mindiapolis,

    It is normal to get a 404 error because WordPress only serves an unpublished page/post URL to logged-in users who can edit it, typically Admin or Editor users. Everyone else, like subscribers, customers, and logged-out visitors, will be treated as if the page does not exist, so they get 404 errors. That is core behavior, not a broken permalink.

    I don’t know what’s going on. Now the button works in Firefox but I’m still having problems in Chrome. Yes I have cleared the cache.

    Hi @mindiapolis,

    Just to confirm, you are logged in to the site dashboard in Firefox, not in Chrome, correct?
