 * Hello everyone,
   For some time now I’ve had a problem with Simply Static.When 
   I want to update my website I run the “Generate Static Files” which runs normally(
   see the last report below).
 * [2024-04-05 06:10:13] Setting up
 * [2024-04-05 06:10:25] Fetched 1720 of 1720 pages/files
 * [2024-04-05 06:20:09] Copied 1229 of 1229 files
 * [2024-04-05 06:20:18] Wrapping up
 * [2024-04-05 06:20:18] Done! Finished in 00:10:06
 * But the live site doesn’t update and stays on the old version.
 * However, I noticed that every page generated had a 404 code in the log export.
 * I’m using Version: **3.1.6.3 of simplystatic**
 * Has anyone had a similar problem (and found a solution!)?
 * Thank you in advance for your help

 * Hey [@nicobs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicobs/),
 * that does sound like a problem with the WordPress website, not exactly with the
   deployment.
 * Check that:
    - you don’t have a firewall blocking access to WP
    - if you use Basic Auth, make sure to include the credentials in Simply Static-
      > Settings -> Misc -> Basic Auth
    - Save your permalinks and clear all server-side caching
    - double-check that the URL from WordPress isn’t different between frontend 
      and backend (proxy setups are common on WPEngine or Docker setups for example)–
      if you use a proxy setup – use the “Origin URL” setting in Simply Static -
      > Settings -> Misc->Debugging -> Origin URL and set it to the public URL of
      your frontend
