Why Is My WordPress Site Showing Page Not Found?

If your WordPress site is displaying a message that says “Page not found” then there is a potential problem with your web server. This could be due to a misconfiguration on your part, a missing file, or even a virus.

To troubleshoot the problem, you’ll need to do some research and find out what might be causing the issue.

First, make sure that you have the correct web server settings configured. You can check this by opening your hosting control panel and looking for the “Server Settings” tab.

Here, you’ll need to verify that the “DocumentRoot” setting is correct and that the “ScriptAlias” setting points to the correct directory. If you don’t have these settings configured correctly, then your site won’t be able to find the pages that it needs.

If the DocumentRoot setting is correct, then you may need to check the file permissions on your WordPress files. The WordPress files are usually located in the “wp-content” directory, but they may also be located in other directories on your web server.

You can check the permissions on the files by using the file permissions command line tool, or by using the Windows “File Explorer” program. Make sure that the files have the correct permissions set, and that the “WP_HOME” directory has the correct permissions set as well.

If the DocumentRoot setting is correct, and the permissions on the files are correct, then you may need to check the “WP_HOME” directory on your web server. The WP_HOME directory contains the WordPress configuration files, and it may be locked down by your web server administrator.

If the WP_HOME directory is locked down, then you won’t be able to access the files. You can check the WP_HOME directory by using the file permissions command line tool, or by using the Windows “File Explorer” program.

If the WP_HOME directory is locked down, then you’ll need to contact your web server administrator to get access to the files.

If the WP_HOME directory is unlocked, and the permissions on the files are correct, then you may need to check the “wp-content” directory on your web server. The “wp-content” directory contains the WordPress files, and it may be locked down by your web server administrator.

If the “wp-content” directory is locked down, then you won’t be able to access the files. You can check the “wp-content” directory by using the file permissions command line tool, or by using the Windows “File Explorer” program.

If the “wp-content” directory is locked down, then you’ll need to contact your web server administrator to get access to the files.

If the “wp-content” directory is unlocked, and the permissions on the files are correct, then you may need to check the WordPress installation on your web server.

You can check the location of the files by using the file permissions command line tool, or by using the Windows “File Explorer” program.

If the WordPress installation on your web server is correct, and the files are located in the “wp-content” directory, then you may need to check the “wp-config.php” file. The “wp-config.php” file contains the WordPress configuration information, and it may be locked down by your web server administrator.

If the “wp-config.php” file is locked down, then you won’t be able to access the file. You can check the “wp-config.php” file by using the file permissions command line tool, or by using the Windows “File Explorer” program.

If the “wp-config.php” file is locked down, then you’ll need to contact your web server administrator to get access to the file.php” file is unlocked, and the permissions on the file are correct, then you may need to check the WordPress database on your web server. The WordPress database is usually located in the “wp-content” directory, but it may also be located in other directories on your web server.

You can check the location of the database by using the file permissions command line tool, or by using the Windows “File Explorer” program.

If the WordPress database on your web server is correct, and the files are located in the “wp-content” directory, then you may need to check the “wp-config.
