 * Hi [@wordpressrun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordpressrun/),
 * Thanks for reaching out. Could you please share the URL you got when you’re on
   the 404 pages? You probably also get the 404 page while activating other plugins?
   404 errors usually appear if your .htaccess file got deleted or something went
   wrong with the rewrite rules. Here are the [troubleshooting steps](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-posts-returning-404-error/)
   that you can follow to fix the problem.
 * I hope this helps!
