Hello!
Having trouble with 404 Page Not Found Errors?
Make sure your listings have a category! https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/dos-and-donts/
Unfortunately this is a common issue, and not directly related to GD. It’s related to any plugin that creates WordPress posts and assigns “pretty URLs”.
Whether it was a network timeout or the database server ran out or resources, in one way or another, the job of updating your post URLs had a problem. Here’s a couple steps you can take to try to restore them yourself:
1. Install the Easy Updater plugin – https://wpgeodirectory.com/wp-easy-updates/
2. Update all of your GeoDirectory Add Ons and the Core plugin to the latest version – Be sure to do this one at a time to ensure the greatest chance of success.
3. Checkyour Permalinks are set to “PostName” and Re-Save your WordPress Permalinks settings – WordPress > Settings > Permalinks
In 80% of the cases, this will solve 404 and Page not Found errors.
For the next 15%, the next step is to de-activate and re-activate the GD plugin, and then visit WordPress Permalinks one more time to re-save the settings.
Still having trouble? Write back with a private reply. In your reply be sure to include your site’s URL, and admin credentials so we can take a look at your site if necessary. We recommend you add a new user called “gdsupport” and give the user administrator privelages and a temporary password. Share that in your reply, too.
Let us know how that works for you
