 * Hello. I am using the current version of all my plugin and WordPress. Although
   I love your plugin and it has saved me a lot of time in the past, I had to deactivate
   it a few days ago because it all of a sudden was causing 404s with all of my 
   Rank Math Plugin sitemaps and my Perfect WooCommerce Brands Plugin brand URLs/
   links. Is there any way to correct this so that I can activate your plugin again?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fduplicate-page-plugin-causes-sitemap-404s%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@melissaod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melissaod/),
 * Thank you for reaching out to us; we’re here to help.
 * Regrettably, the issue you’re facing does not appear to be related to our plugin.
   A 404 error typically occurs when website content has been removed or moved to
   a different URL. Our plugin specifically assists with duplicating pages and posts
   and doesn’t directly influence the handling of URLs or website content.
 * To address this issue, we recommend checking the links or files on your end to
   ensure they are correctly configured.
 * If you have any further questions or need assistance with any aspect of our plugin,
   please don’t hesitate to contact us at [support@duplicatepro.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-page-plugin-causes-sitemap-404s/support@duplicatepro.com?output_format=md).

 * When the problem occurred on my website (which was sitemap URLs and brand URL
   links no longer working) I deactivated and then reactivated each plugin one by
   one. It was only when Duplicate Page Plugin was deactivated that the sitemap 
   URLs were no longer giving a 404 and the brand links were no longer giving a 
   404. I triple checked everything and every time the solution was deactivating
   the Duplicate Page Plugin.

 * Hey [@melissaod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melissaod/),
   We would like
   to take a deeper dive into this and find out if this issue is related to a duplicate
   page plugin or not.
 * To pinpoint the issue, we suggest enabling debug error logs on your website. 
   To facilitate this process, you can utilize our plugin, Wp File Manager. Here
   are the steps to enable debug error logs using Wp File Manager:
    1. Locate the `wp-config.php` file in your website’s root directory.
    2. Insert the following code:
 *     ```wp-block-code
          define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
       ```
   
 * (Note:- If this code ”’ define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, false); ”’ is already there in
   your `wp-config.php` file, change the value from “false” to “true.”)
 * Once you’ve enabled debug error logs, please proceed to replicate the issue or
   perform the steps that trigger the error. This will generate a .txt error log
   file within the “wp-content” directory. You can view this .txt file using a code
   editor accessible through the right-click menu.
 * Please download and share the debug error log.txt file with us via email at [support@duplicatepro.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-page-plugin-causes-sitemap-404s/support@duplicatepro.com?output_format=md)
 * We eagerly await your response and the provided information, which will enable
   us to promptly resolve this matter for you.
 * Best Regards,
   Duplicate Page Support Team
