[Resolved] suddenly getting 404 pages

[CRISTO]

All my pages are suddenly returning 404’s. Not sure if this has anything to do with GP. It just started a few hours ago. I can pull up my home page, but all other links, all other pages, all other menu items yield a 404.

Well I really don’t think I did it, but the response from my host (LightningBase…they are phenomenal, just like GP) says:

The .htaccess file for this site was missing the default .htaccess rewrite rule code:

# 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

We inserted that at the bottom of the file, beneath the WP Rocket section, and the internal pages came back up. Let us know if you see any further trouble!

Thanks,

Glad you figured out 🙂

Heck, I didn’t figure it out….I am clueless. But I have managed hosting with LightningBase and they usually pull me out of trouble. Not sure how it happened, really. I still think it was a plugin update….but as I said, I am clueless.

Yeah likely some sort of plugin error.
