¿Alguna vez has intentado abrir una de tus entradas de WordPress y te ha aparecido un error 404? A veces nos ocurre cuando trabajamos en nuestros propios sitios de WordPress o ayudamos a nuestros usuarios.
Este error se produce cuando puede acceder al área de administración de WordPress y al blog, pero cuando intenta abrir una entrada concreta, aparece el mensaje “404 no encontrado”.
Puede ser frustrante ver que tu contenido desaparece, pero hemos encontrado algunas soluciones para solucionar este problema. En esta guía completa, le mostraremos cómo arreglar 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 pueden mostrar un error 404 “Página no encontrada” en WordPress. 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 tus entradas o páginas.
Cómo encontrar todas las entradas de WordPress con errores 404
Antes de llegar a las soluciones, sería bueno averiguar si este error sólo está ocurriendo en uno o dos puestos o en varios. De esta forma, podrás determinar el alcance del problema y elegir la solución más adecuada.
Una forma sencilla de averiguarlo es utilizar Google Search Console. Si aún no has enviado tu sitio a Google Search Console, lee nuestra guía sobre cómo añadir tu sitio WordPress a Google Search Console.
Una vez que el robot de Google haya rastreado e indexado su sitio, Google Search Console le proporcionará información detallada sobre el rendimiento de su sitio, incluidos los errores 404 que encuentre.
Para saber qué entradas están devolviendo errores 404, puedes acceder al panel de control de Search Console. A continuación, ve al informe “Páginas” y verás una lista detallada de todos los errores.
Para obtener más información, puede leer nuestra lista de consejos para utilizar Google Search Console con el fin de aumentar el tráfico del sitio web, que incluye algunos consejos sobre cómo solucionar errores 404 con la herramienta.
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 web 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, puedes hacer una búsqueda rápida en Google de soluciones relacionadas con ese plugin o ponerte en contacto con el desarrollador del plugin para obtener asistencia.
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: Activar mod-rewrite (Instalación local de WordPress)
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.

So for me… I first deleted the WP Fastest Cache out of my Cpanel and THEN…I “bulk deactivated” all my plugins. Did a refresh…and it worked! Praise God!
Then I activated the plugins I still needed. So far so good.
Thanks so much!

If the problem still persists, you might want to check to see if mod_security is active and causing issues.

Thank you.
I have tried deactivating my plugins; I am using theme twenty sixteen. But still, my pages keep loading “the page can’t be found” when I use the custom permalink. I have done the .htaccess, but nothing is working. The post and categories load fine, but pages won’t load unless I use the plain permalink, which is not advisable for SEO purposes.
Please help me.

You may want to check with your hosting provider if you haven’t done so already to see if it could be part of an error on their end.

I have tried to click the save button on setting>permalink on my wordpress admin but the problem still persists. I can’t seem to locate the .htaccess on my FTP login. I noticed someone commented about editing the front. I tried checking out the storefront editor, but because I am not a programmer, I am being careful not to cause more damage to the theme. Any help on how to resolve the “404 Page Not Found” permalink problem. It started after a recent wordpress update.

(You just trashed a Post. Search engines and other websites can still send traffic to your deleted post. You should create a redirect to ensure your visitors do not get a 404 error when they click on the no longer working URL. With Yoast SEO Premium, you can easily create such redirects)

These steps seem so simple. But I tried everything. Changing the rights to 666 and 664. Deleting the .htaccess file. Copying and pasting the code didn’t help either.
I even changed the permalink settings to which I desire and rewrite all the pages by hand again. To make sure they get the name I want and to have new page id’s
I tried literally everything. I’m really clueless now. Can you please help me.
