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

If your WordPress installation is in a subfolder (ex. https://www.example.com/subfolder) change this line in your WordPress .htaccess

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

to

RewriteRule . /subfolder/index.php [L]

By doing so, you are telling the server to look for WordPress index.php in the WordPress folder (ex. https://www.example.com/subfolder) rather than in the public folder (ex. https://www.example.com).
