Why Does My WordPress Site Say 404 Not Found?

If you’re seeing a 404 Not Found error on your WordPress site, there are a few potential reasons why. Here are a few of the most common causes:

1. You’ve deleted a plugin or theme that was using a 404 page.

2. You’ve changed the address of your site so that the pages no longer match the URL structure of your WordPress installation.

3. Your server is refusing to serve requests for your WordPress site’s pages because they don’t exist or they’re out of date.

4. You’ve deleted a page or post from your WordPress site and it’s not being found by search engines.

5. You’ve added a 301 redirect to your WordPress site, but the pages that used to point to the old URL are still being served up as 404s.

There are a few things that you can do to try and diagnose and fix the issue if it’s your site that’s experiencing the 404 Not Found error. First, make sure that all of your site’s pages are listed in the URL bar of your browser, and that the address is spelled correctly. If the pages are still not being found, you can check to see if any of your plugins or themes are causing the problem by disabling them one at a time and checking to see if the 404 error goes away. You can also try running a search for your site’s name on Google or Bing, and if the pages start loading then the problem may be with your server.

If the pages are still not loading, then you may need to contact your web host and ask them to check to see if your site is accessible from the internet. If all of those options fail, then it may be time to consider rebuilding your site from scratch.
