When using WordPress, when activating a new theme or changing the rewrite rules in the .htaccess file, a 404 Page Not Found error often appears.

3. 选择  default.
4. Click on Save Settings.
5. Change the settings back to the previous configuration (before you select the default value).If you have a custom structure, put it back in place.
