Wordpress Pages 404, Finding My Blog Posts!

I thought WordPress was the easy way to manage content online. I got a bunch of nice themes, and wrote some good content.Then one morning all the links to my Blog Posts stopped working.

Click any link, and get an ERROR message: "404 The page you are looking for cannot be found."

The interesting thing is that WordPress pages still work normally. You can click them and easily navigate this content. Also, you can read the content on the site's home page. But when clicking those post links, you get the 404.

I'm not sure, but I think it's a problem with folders and directories, maybe with the server or the database (mysql). Any way, please help me out take a look for yourself.

The website is theprovolone.com

No, that's not a joke. :) It will all make sense, the site explains itself. Just go check it out and help me troubleshoot the links.

Thank you!

Hi James,

It can certainly be due to permalinks, try changing them to default.

Hi james, You can change the permalinks from the permalinks settings page . On to your left side panel go to settings>>permalinks, and then select the default permalinks option.
