Hello,

I have some wired problems on my once client website. When changing the permalink type other than "Plain" all pages shows 404. I have change setting over and over again, but none of the options seems working. Does anybody have any idea about this?

Thank you.

If you are using any cache plugin then Purge the cache!!
If not then install any Backup plugin and backup your setting
Uninstall the theme or in some case uninstall the wordpress from server and re-do again!!
Then Re-import the settings!!

Just suggesting not recommending you to do this!! There might be another way!!

Thank you for your suggestion. I have update Wordpress hence it couldn't' be a core file issue,also deactivated all plugins. no-cache plugins. maybe I should try to change the theme.

I just guessed causes i can not fix without see files and backedn but i think somehow correpted your permalink structure one plugin or configuration. May canonical URL structure i donnow.
Track that way or consult your hosting may some apache module or configuration cause error

Try this old trick,

rename and download your old .htaccess to something else but DONT DELETE

edit this file BUT don't replace existing code but rather add to it:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

save it as new .htaccess then upload

use filezilla.

goodluck, sister
