I have created a page. When the page is in “Draft” mode, I can preview the page with no problem. When I press “Publish” and then try to preview the page. I get a 404 error. I can still see the page in the Admin, just not view it.
If I switch the page back to “draft” mode, then I can again preview the page.
Also, accessing the page URL directly when published also gives a 404 error.
I have narrowed it down some.
If I change the site “PermaLink” settings to “PostName” so https://blog.marineadvisor.com/%postname% then it does not work. If I return the value to “Plain”, then it does work. Is there some issue with Mod-Rewrite?
Issue resolved.
I needed to add a .htaccess file in my wordpress directory.
I added the following content to the .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
