    I am using wp4.7. I am noticing that a post would disappear after a few hours and render 404 error instead!! It does not happen to all posts – which makes it even weirder. And it happens to posts that has displayed just mere hours previously!

    Hi gbengalex,

    Oh no! That’s weird.

    Are you using any sort of plugin that can be used to set posts to auto-expire?

    And to be clear, you’ve definitely published these posts, rather than using a plugin like Public Post Preview, which uses expiring preview links?

    Thanks. I am investigating if my RSS feed aggregator is the culprit.

    Was it the RSS? I’m having exactly the same problem, and it’s been a horrible headache for a few months now. Sometimes it’s even the homepage, so I’ve been getting a lot of complaints from the higher ups here.

    If you set your RSS feed aggregtaor to post a specific number of posts (say 100) it will auto delete previously posted content in order to keep maximum at 100. Those deleted posts will then return 404 error when browsed. I dont know which RSS plugin you are using but that seems to be the case with respect to WP RSS Aggregator plugin.
