iridiax, thanks for your response.
the 404 errors were being caused because the .htaccess file was not being written. I manually put one in there, no problems now.
Here’s what I manually inserted into my .htaccess file
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
thanks again!
This could be an issue with your .htaccess file. Did you recently upgrade?
I had the same problem recently, it was related to file permissions. I contacted my host and they changed them for me.
It isn’t clear why they changed to the incorrect values in the first place (worked fine for months), but it resulted in a 500 Internal Error and hours of headaches.
best of luck to you
