Title: Permalink 404 Errors After 3.4.1 Install Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Permalink 404 Errors After 3.4.1 Install * [brithulsizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brithulsizer/) * (@brithulsizer) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-404-errors-after-341-install/) * Since I installed WordPress 3.4.1, all pages, except my home page, are returning 404 errors UNLESS I have my permalinks set to default. I want them set to “post name.” * I have read a few other forums on this issue, but none of them seem to resolve my issue. My .htaccess file appears correct. It reads: * > # BEGIN WordPress > RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / > RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{ > REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] > # END WordPress * I also deactivated all plugins, and the issue was still present. * Any help would be much appreciated!

I am on the same boat as brithulsizer. * [xposed100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xposed100/) * (@xposed100) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-404-errors-after-341-install/#post-2947147) * Hi, * I had the same problem and this is what fixed it for me … * Please note my web server is appache * 1) Open the httpd.conf file in the apache conf directory 2) Search for the following * # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride None * 3) Replace the ‘AllowOverride None’ with ‘AllowOverride All’ * Hope this works for you * Thanks J * Thread Starter [brithulsizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brithulsizer/) * (@brithulsizer) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-404-errors-after-341-install/#post-2947148) * Thank you, xposed100! Unfortunately, I use GoDaddy, and from what I can tell, am not given access to the httpd.conf file. Do you know if there is something I could add to the .htaccess file that would essentially do the same thing? * Thank you! * [xposed100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xposed100/) * (@xposed100) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-404-errors-after-341-install/#post-2947149) * The config in your htaccess file (above) looks fine, its exactly what I have in mine, although im not an expert and cannot suggest anything else. Have you contacted GoDaddy to see what they say? * Sorry i cant be more help! * [xposed100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xposed100/) * (@xposed100) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-404-errors-after-341-install/#post-2947167) * I have just experienced the exact same issue with another site. * Weirdly it seemed to fix itself after i set it back to default, saved it and then switched it back to the permalink i wanted. * I have no idea why this would matter! Can you try this if you have already done so. * [xposed100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xposed100/) * (@xposed100) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-404-errors-after-341-install/#post-2947168) * Apparently when its changed it recreates the .htaccess configuring the content to be relative to the site. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-404-errors-after-341-install/#post-2947169) * Resaving your permalinks flushes the info in your database. So yes, do try pressing the save button on the permalinks page. You don’t even have to change anything. * (The .htaccess is fine, you can leave it alone. And if you’re on GoDaddy, your httpd.conf is fine) * Thread Starter [brithulsizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brithulsizer/) * (@brithulsizer) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-404-errors-after-341-install/#post-2947170) * Yes, I have tried setting to default, saving, and then setting to the post name and saving, but it does not fix it. I just can’t figure it out, and my theme support tells me it’s a WordPress issue.
