Why Does My WordPress Say Page Not Found?

There are a few reasons why your WordPress site might say “page not found.” The most common reason is that the URL that you entered is incorrect. You can check to make sure that the URL is correct by going to your WordPress site’s home page and clicking on the “Settings” link in the upper-right corner. In the Settings page, click on the “URL” tab.

In the URL field, type the URL that you’re trying to reach, and then click on the “Save Changes” button. If the URL is correct, then the problem lies elsewhere.

Another common reason for a “page not found” message is that you may have deleted the page that you were trying to access. To verify that this is the case, go to your site’s home page and click on the “Pages” link in the upper-right corner.

In the Pages list, click on the page that you were trying to access, and then click on the “Delete” button. If the page has been deleted, then the problem lies with your WordPress site’s database.

The final, and most common, reason for a “page not found” message is that the page doesn’t exist. This can be due to a number of reasons, including misconfiguration, vandalism, or simple negligence.

If you’re certain that the page doesn’t exist, then the best course of action is to try to create it from scratch.
