 * Hello! I am sorry for a somewhat redundant post, I found similar issues in other
   posts, but for the most part couldnt understand the fixes offered as I am a WP/
   server seedling.
    I just created 2 new pages, and they both show error 404, while
   all others work(site is set up to /%postname%/ permalink). if I switch back to
   default permalinks, all pages show fine, but moving back to /%postname%/ makes
   the 2 new pages error 404 again. I read about WP needing write access to change
   the .htaccess file among other things in[ WP codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
   but being such a newb, this might as well be greek. my htaccess file looks like
   this, which seems right –
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * any help is much appreciated, the more newb directed the better. Thanks! [http://www.abishandmade.com](http://www.abishandmade.com)

 * Fixed it! It was a plugin issue. Check box under woocommerce>settings>pages “
   Prepend product permalinks with shop base page (shop) Note: The shop page has
   children – child pages will not work if you enable this option. ” needed to be
   unchecked.
 * Thanks to anyone who spent time looking in to it for me.
