# Pretty link 404 errors when updating posts

 * Hi,
 * I experience 404 errors of all prettylinks which are included in a post when 
   updating this post. The wordpress standard editor apparently checks all links
   on publishing / updating of a post. As a result all involved prettylinks show
   up as 404 in the server log with “HEAD /prettylinkexample HTTP/1.1” requested
   from my server IP – user agent WordPress/4.9.8;
    All of these prettylinks are
   correct and generally working, the issue occurs only in case wordpress performs
   its internal checks. This is already ongoing for a while, but I just noticed 
   now.
 * How can to avoid these 404 errors?
 * Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpretty-link-404-errors-when-updating-posts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * It is likely checking them against its known permalinks only and does not check
   or care if the link is a redirect. It won’t affect the functionality of the pretty
   links however.
