Title: Getting 404 Errors Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Getting 404 Errors * [kevs2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevs2/) * (@kevs2) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-404-errors-1/) * Never seen this before, but my last two post, they were fine for a couple of months, but now the image pages are 404’s. * I went into the post today and clicked on the images and they seem to correct ok, when I change the dropdown from custom url to attached image. I click update, I do it for all 404 images, update the page, but then it does not stick, it goes back to cutstom url. * This is all over my head… any help appreciated.

I’m sorry. I should’ve been clearer. an url-shortener is something where you can submit an url & it “shortens it. It also makes it pretty unrecognizable, as you can see from the example below. * For example, when I go to the url shortener [https://goo.gl](https://goo.gl) & paste in the url to my website (no http or www required), I get: [http://goo.gl/aBYz2y](http://goo.gl/aBYz2y) * The reason I said what I said is, of course, that someone could be nasty & send a malware link, & clicking on that could end one up in a *whole lot* of trouble. * If you’re not fond of Google’s url shortener for whatever reason, you can do a search for “url shortener”. There are a passle of them out there. What they’re normally used for is shortening url’s for things like Twitter, where characters count. * HTH? * Thread Starter [kevs2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevs2/) * (@kevs2) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-404-errors-1/#post-7589197) * Thanks Jackie, I know it from twitter, but it does not really help keep ones identity private as ones still clicks to the website which reveals everything, name, phone number, emails, etc…. * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-404-errors-1/#post-7589208) * Well, 1) You can always sign up for a slack account thru WordPress & msg me thru that; or 2) You can always go to wordpress.freenode.net, but this might involve some timezone juggling. However, u could just leave it there, & msg me here that you’ve done that. * But–hmm–here is an interesting possibility–might the shortened url the support forum volunteer sent be a real website w/information that could be useful for this particular purpose? * [am2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/am2homeserver/) * (@am2homeserver) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-404-errors-1/#post-7589210) * I have a very similar issue: * When I do click in a wordpress page I obtain this error (Permalink-postname mode): * ``` 404 Not Found nginx ``` * Only if I set permalinks in simple/plain mode work well. * /etc/nginx/nginx.conf –> [http://pastebin.com/pkahCuMZ](http://pastebin.com/pkahCuMZ) / etc/nginx/sites-enabled/wordpress.conf –> [http://pastebin.com/G4hMhcEC](http://pastebin.com/G4hMhcEC) with this last file (wordpress.conf) My site is broken, can not connect (there are a default folder with a link): * > Can not connect > Firefox can not establish a connection to the server in tenpi2.ddns.net > The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Please try again in > a few moments. > If you can not load any pages, check the network connection > on your computer. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or > proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web. * In a support from a plug-in theme they said me this: * > May be related with page codes are fetching or passing. * Any idea? * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-404-errors-1/#post-7589211) * Hello, am2homeserver. Please start your own topic as per the guidelines here: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome](https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome) * The reason for this is that the problems are different, & it can get really confusing for both volunteers & those seeking help when discussion occurs regarding 2 different problems in the same thread. * & yes, I do have some ideas, but, again, please post your own topic. I’ll look periodically to see if it comes up in the ‘No Replies’ section & will address it if I see it. In the new topic, please post your site url if applicable, as well as what server you’re running & your site config file. * Thanks so much for your cooperation. * Thread Starter [kevs2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevs2/) * (@kevs2) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-404-errors-1/#post-7589235) * Yeah that was a weird one from Am2. * Ok, I’m giving up on this thread unless someone helpful comes along. I posted just once before on this forum and one good guy helped, but not much luck here. * [am2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/am2homeserver/) * (@am2homeserver) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-404-errors-1/#post-7589251) * I dont understand why you sent me to post a new theme to nothing. You could say: not open new topic, nobody will answer you. * _[Moderator note: Expletive removed.
