WordPress is giving me 404 page not found for all pages except the homepage

Question

All of a sudden I go to my WordPress website and all the pages give me a 404 page not found page. I\'m assuming the problem lies with the permalink structure, which I could swea

Answer 1

Fixing that problem is very simple if you was using permalinks other than the default such as Day and name, Month and name, Numeric, Post name or Custom Structure, you only need to

Login to your admin area: Settings > Permalinks which should be : http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php

Choose Default permalink setting, then save changes

Then you can return it again to your other previous permalink choice or keep it as default as yo wish

Note that this problem can happen when you move your site from a domain or location to another one.
