• Today, I received some feedback that pages on one of my sites have stopped working.

    Long story short, after switching permalinks to numeric style (/archives/123), the links started working again.

    However, this is not ideal. As old links (/2026/03/18/sample-post/) and wp.me links would stop working.

    Any idea how to troubleshoot and fix?

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers.

    Edit: No plugin was updated yesterday AFAIK.

  • Hi there @loyukfai ,

    Thank you for your request. May I ask:

    What was your original permalink structure before the errors began? (Settings → Permalinks – was it Post name, Day and name, Month and name, or Custom?)

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Hi, I have been using the default day and name option.

    /2026/03/18/sample-post/

    Before, which doesn’t work now:

    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    Now:

    /archives/%post_id%

    It seems… but I’m not entirely sure. That this only happens when the postnames contain Chinese characters…

    I just reverted to the most basic default option and switched back to the date+postname option, it seems to be working now. I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it sustains.

    Cheers.
