¿Sus entradas de WordPress devuelven un error 404 en su sitio web?
Este error se produce cuando puedes acceder al área de administrador y al blog de WordPress, pero cuando intentas abrir una entrada, verás el mensaje “404 No encontrado”.
En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo corregir las entradas de WordPress que devuelven errores 404.
¿Por qué mis entradas de WordPress devuelven un error 404?
Hay varias razones por las que sus entradas de WordPress pueden estar mostrando un error 404 “Página no encontrada”. Estos pueden incluir:
- Conflictos de plugins o temas: A veces, los plugins o temas que has instalado en tu sitio pueden interferir con la forma en que WordPress gestiona los permalinks. Esto puede provocar enlaces rotos y errores 404.
- Problemas de código personalizado: Si has añadido código personalizado a tu sitio web, puede haber errores en el código que estén afectando a los permalinks o causando otros conflictos, dando lugar a errores 404 para tus entradas.
- Problemas con su archivo .htaccess: El archivo .htaccess juega un papel importante en cómo WordPress estructura las URLs. Si este archivo está dañado o no existe, puede provocar errores 404 en las entradas.
Dicho esto, veamos cómo corregir las entradas de WordPress que devuelven errores 404. Puede utilizar los siguientes enlaces para ir directamente a las diferentes soluciones:

Método 1: Comprobar si hay conflictos de plugins o temas y problemas de código personalizado
A veces, los plugins, temas o código personalizado que has añadido a tu sitio de WordPress pueden interferir con los enlaces permanentes o causar conflictos, dando lugar a errores 404. Incluso lo hemos experimentado nosotros mismos cuando probamos herramientas en nuestro sitio de demostración.
Una forma de resolver este problema es desactivar temporalmente los plugins. Los plugins a veces pueden alterar la forma en que WordPress gestiona los enlaces.
Una vez que hayas desactivado los plugins, puedes reactivarlos uno a uno mientras compruebas si el error 404 reaparece después de activar cada plugin. Si el error aparece después de activar un plugin específico, ese podría ser el culpable.
A continuación, puede buscar soluciones relacionadas con ese plugin o ponerse en contacto con el desarrollador del plugin para obtener ayuda.
Del mismo modo, su tema de WordPress podría estar causando el conflicto.
Para comprobarlo, puedes cambiar temporalmente a un tema predeterminado de WordPress como Twenty Twenty-Three o Twenty Twenty-Four. Solo tienes que ir a Apariencia “ Temas y hacer clic en “Activar” en un tema predeterminado.
Si el error 404 desaparece con el tema predeterminado, indica un posible conflicto con su tema actual. A continuación, puedes intentar solucionar el problema con el tema o considerar la posibilidad de utilizar un tema diferente.
Puede consultar nuestra selección de expertos de los temas de WordPress más populares para obtener recomendaciones.
Si ha insertado recientemente fragmentos de código en su sitio web, es posible que haya errores en el código que causen los errores 404. Examina detenidamente el código que has añadido y comprueba si puedes identificar algún error.
La forma más segura de añadir fragmentos de código a WordPress es con el plugin WPCode. Este plugin te permite insertar código personalizado sin trabajar directamente con los archivos del tema, lo que reduce el riesgo de romper tu sitio web.
Además, siempre que WPCode detecte un error en tu código, desactivará automáticamente el fragmento y te pedirá que lo compruebes. También puedes utilizar el modo de prueba para comprobar si tu código funciona antes de enviarlo a tu sitio web.
Si ninguna de estas soluciones funciona, pasa al siguiente método en el que solucionaremos los problemas de configuración de tu enlace permanente.
Método 2: Corregir la configuración de Permalink
Las entradas de WordPress pueden devolver errores 404 debido a problemas con las reglas de reescritura en su archivo .htaccess. En la mayoría de los casos, puede corregir el problema actualizando sus ajustes de enlaces permanentes.
Simplemente vaya a Ajustes ” Enlaces permanentes en el administrador de WordPress y haga clic en el botón “Guardar cambios”.
No es necesario realizar cambios en los ajustes de los enlaces permanentes. Esto actualizará los ajustes de enlaces permanentes y eliminará las reglas de reescritura.
En la mayoría de los casos, esta solución corrige el error 404 de las entradas de WordPress. Sin embargo, si no le funciona, probablemente necesite actualizar su archivo .htaccess manualmente.
Método 3: Actualizar el archivo .htaccess de WordPress
Antes de empezar, asegúrese de hacer una copia de seguridad de su archivo .htaccess de WordPress. Si algo va mal, puede restaurar fácilmente el archivo original.
Ahora, tendrá que conectarse a su servidor utilizando un cliente FTP como FileZilla o la aplicación Administrador de Archivos en el escritorio de alojamiento de WordPress.
A continuación, tendrá que encontrar y editar el archivo .htaccess, que se encuentra en la misma ubicación que carpetas como /wp-content/ y /wp-includes/.
Basta con hacer clic con el botón derecho en el archivo y seleccionar “Permisos de archivo”.
Puede hacer que el archivo sea de escritura cambiando sus permisos a 666.
Basta con introducir “666” en la casilla “Valor numérico” y hacer clic en “Aceptar”.
A continuación, debe repetir los pasos del primer método de nuestro tutorial. Una vez hecho esto, no te olvides de cambiar los permisos de nuevo a 660.
También puede editar el archivo y añadirle código.
Una vez que haya abierto el archivo .htaccess con un editor de texto, simplemente inserte este código:
# 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
Método 4: Póngase en contacto con su proveedor de alojamiento
Si ninguna de las soluciones anteriores ha corregido el error 404 de las entradas de WordPress, le recomendamos que se ponga en contacto con su proveedor de alojamiento de WordPress. Es posible que haya un error por su parte o que puedan ayudarte a diagnosticar el problema.
Consulte también nuestra guía sobre cómo solicitar soporte de WordPress correctamente y obtenerlo.
Método 5: Corregir el error 404 de las entradas de WordPress en servidores locales
Si está utilizando un servidor local para realizar pruebas, deberá activar mod_rewrite en la configuración de Apache de su sitio MAMP, WAMP o XAMPP.
Esto permitirá a WordPress generar URLs limpias y evitar el error 404 para entradas y páginas en su servidor local.
La forma de hacerlo dependerá de la plataforma que utilices. Las personas que utilizan XAMPP pueden abrir su panel de control y hacer clic en el botón ‘Config’ dentro de Acciones. Luego, selecciona ‘Apache (httpd.conf)’.
A continuación, tendrá que encontrar esta línea #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so y quitar el ‘#’ para descomentarla.
Esto cargará el mod_rewrite.
A continuación, busque todas las instancias de AllowOverride None y cámbielas a AllowOverride All.
El valor “Todas” significa que se pueden anular todas las directivas.
Una vez hecho esto, puedes guardar el archivo httpd.conf y cerrarlo. Después, en el panel de control de XAMPP, haz clic en ‘Detener’ en el módulo Apache y en ‘Iniciar’ de nuevo para reiniciarlo.
A continuación, vuelva a su panel de administrador para ver si sus enlaces permanentes están trabajando.

Alexis
hello! i’ve reset permalinks many times to deal with the 404 error. this time when i hit save a file downloaded to my computer: options-permalink.php and the site broke. just got a white screen and each time a file downloaded. finally i got the default permalinks to work but this is not a great solution. does this sound familiar to you? tech support didn’t think it was the .htaccess file but i’m not convinces. moved site from one host to another. any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, please help, i seem not getting solution through this tutorial cos i can’

Not Found
The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Nukak
if you cannot access your dashboard. your issue is most likely a plugin issue. go to phpAdmin and disable all plugins.
this link might help you https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/
once deactivated and you log back in you can then activiate the plugins that you need. all your initial settings before you got locked out of yur site would still remain in tact. all the best.
Clint
Thank you, just clicking save on my permalink page (which has been customised for years) worked immediately.
Chris Keeble
Perfect!
Clicking Save Changes on Settings > Permalinks works first time.

Wow! that’s a great solution.

Hi, I was having the 404 error problem. Homepage works fine, all other links have the 404 error. Tried the method you suggested in wordpress settings permalinks and click save changes but it didn’t work for me.
Saw some post earlier about sync the htaccess file through the webhosting settings page somewhere but don’t really know how to do it. Any advice? Thanks

If this error is affecting your login page, go to .htaccess and remove:
“deny from all”
“allow from 00.00.00.00”

hello there im I would really appreciate help I followed the instructions on saving changes on permalinks not a computer person so do not know how to do the other after is showing me this
Fatal error: Class ‘Epsilon_Editor_Custom_Control’ not found
WPBeginner Support
Hi Jorge,
It looks like a plugin on your website is causing the error. You need to deactivate all plugins installed on your website, and then reactivate them one by one until you find the plugin causing the error. See our guide on how to deactivate all plugins when not able to access wp-admin for detailed instructions.

In the event this is a new server, or an Apache upgrade you may have to check the following:
Open the httpd.conf ie: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
Change the AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All.
Save changes
Restart the Apache server.
Mariyam
Wow, as easy as that, Thank you!

still having problems, not sure what to do, i followed steps above, and get same results. my web host company uses windows 2012 server so no .htaccess file. so many of these help posts refer to .htaccess which windows does not use. they use the web.config file i think, is that correct? please help
marco
I have followed the above steps, but still does not work. I am on windows 2012 R12 server and do not have a .htaccess file, even while in FTP force hidden files to display . are there instructions on how to fix this problem when on windows server
WPBeginner Support
Hey Marco,
First you need to download a backup of your existing web.config file to your computer. After that you need to edit the file on your server and add following rule to the system.webServer element:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="WordPress Rule" stopProcessing="true"> <match url=".*" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> </system.webServer> </configuration>1-click Use in WordPress

I migrated a site to, imported the mySQL DB and uploaded the entire file structure of the wordpress directory.
I still got a 404 error for everything but the home page, and re-saving the config in the permalinks section did not work.
What worked for me was renaming the htaccess file on the FTP site to htaccessOLD so it would not be referenced, but I still have it backed up if needed, then I went and saved the permalink options, had to chose what type of link I wanted (IE date, page no or description). Once I saved all the pages were back up and running.
Thanks for the post, it gave me the pointers to find this and fix it.
Rene
I followed the exact steps but unfortunately they don’t work for me. I keep getting errors 404 despite saving my permalink info, removing .htaccess and re-generating it. I am able to view my home page, but as soon as I want to visit a sub page, the error 404 pops up. I also tried switching to WPs default themes, also that doesn’t help. Are there any advices for “advanced” bug solving in case of 404 errors?
WPBeginner Support
Hey Rene,
Try updating WordPress URLs by visiting the Settings > General page. Make sure that your site and WordPress URL are the same.

Hey. I have a little problem with 404. I had changed the permalink of a single post. now for a certain keyword google is displaying the same post in two different positions with same title but different url and one has 404 error. please help.

Hi Sampurna,
You can setup a redirect for the URL returning 404 error. See our guide on how to setup redirects in WordPress.

Rene
Not needed, problem is fixed. I coincidentally found out that my host is reading a different .htaccess file than the one that WP generates. So a “sync” had to be done via their webhosting portal, that was all. Now it works, thanks a lot anyway and perhaps this alternative solution is still useful for other to know that may have a similar setup by their host. Rgds!
Carey
Same here! Needed to ‘sync’ the htaccess file through the webhosting settings page somewhere… thanks for the tip!
Rajinder S. Gill
This was quick. Thank you
Lois
You saved my life today. I was at the verge of crying because after creating a post, I was unable to read the post. it returned 404 error. I eearched several websites for answers but your post was well explicit and once I changed the permalink structure, it worked. Thank you thank you.
Kaylee
I’m still now following at where you exactly change the permissions at. Could you please explain?
Mike lavie
The solution: Login to your server using FTP, and modify the folders like /wp-content/ and /wp-includes/ are located. The easiest thing you can do is to temporarily make the file writeable by changing the permissions to 777. Then repeat the original solution.
Go to Settings » Permalinks, and simply click on Save Changes button.
Don’t forget to change the permissions back to 755 ( /wp-content/ and /wp-includes/ ).
I do it for is perfect now!
Lukas
Great, that help a lot!
