WordPress random 404 errors on pages that were working
WordPress is fantastic, what else can you say. The new custom post types and taxonomies make it a super powerful system that can handle the vast majority of average web content management requirements simply and quickly. It does have its quirks to be sure, and one of them is the tendency for it to screw up it’s permalink cache at times producing random 404 errors on pages that were working to that point. This often happens when you change slug values in your functions.php but it can certainly happen at other times. If this happens the quickest way to sort it (normally) is to reset your permalink structure to the default then reapply any custom paths you have defined. Volia, old pages back on track, no more random 404s on WordPress.
