# [Plugin: More Fields] Causing 404 Errors

 * Is anyone else having an issue with more fields on WP 2.8.4 causing the site 
   to break with 404 errors.
 * If I deactivate more fields and reset the permalinks i am able to get things 
   running again.
 * I can then activate more fields and it works for a little while. But then something
   triggers (not sure exactly what function is running) and all my pages (except
   the front, which is set to a static page) return error 404’s. Even if I try type
   the ID name in the addresses (e.g domain.com/?p=4).
 * Seems this coupled with the javascript issues, More Fields is still a bit too
   buggy for the latest WP install? (which I guess is why it has been approved…)
 * Any idea if a new release is being worked on?

 * Too buggy, had to deactivate the plugin because it broke all the links in the
   site and produced 404s in the latest WP version. Bummer, because it was looking
   like a great plugin.

 * Be interested to bump this. Haven’t come across a solution yet.

 * Absolutely an issue! Me too…lost 5 hours of my life on this one. 🙂 For me, WP
   Super Cache seemed to be a contributing factor. .htaccess files got wonky.
 * Like bdiddymc it would be fine for a while, something would trigger it and bam
   404s.
 * Too bad…great plugin. Hope it gets fixed soon.

 * To get it working in the mean time just remove all the url rewrite filters for
   the plugin. Then just re-save all your fields… :), I also changed my permalinks
   to ?p={n} and then back to %postname% worked nicely. 🙂

 * [@mitchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitchell/) you called it with
   the culprit being the rewrite filters… I changed more-fields-object.php lines
   770:778 to the following and it seems to be working now.
 *     ```
       $slug = substr($field['slug'], 1, strlen($field['slug']));
       if (!$slug) continue;
       $key = $field['key'];
   
       $new_rules = array(
       	'$slug/(.+)' => 'index.php?mf_key=$key&mf_value=' .
       	$wp_rewrite->preg_index(1)
       );
       $wp_rewrite->rules = $new_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
       ```

 * [@mitchellgeere](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitchellgeere/) thank you
   that worked. The solution of john.andrews didn’t work for me.

 * UPDATE
 * this only works when logged in… As soon as you logout, the 404 errors are back.
