Step 1
Try re-saving your WordPress permalinks:
Navigate to SETTINGS > PERMALINKS
Scroll to the bottom and click Save Changes
This performs a hard flush of your rewrite rules and will update your .htaccess file. This is a plugin- & theme-agnostic solution that corrects 404 issues the majority of the time.
Step 2
If you』re still having issues, try to reverse any recent changes you made on your site. Did you update a theme or plugin? If so, try deactivating the new plugin or revert to a prior version of the theme. You should also test with a default WordPress theme, like Twenty Nineteen. After reversing your changes, repeat Step 1.
