Bug? "Page Not Found" message when my blog subscribers click the email link

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi! Having an issue, would appreciate help. Thank you!
    My blog followers/subscribers who receive email announcements for new posts click the email link to access my blog post and come to “Page Not Found”.

    I’m wondering if this may be connected as well…this was quirky.
    I originally started the draft of this particular post March 11. Then I posted it March 14. When I published it, however, it filed it down on March 11, both on my blog and on my dashboard. So, I went into post, edit, then changed the “Published ON:___” Edit and set it back to the day I actually released it (and where I needed it to appear on the outside blog), March 14.

    Are the two events creating a bug?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    No bug – when you change the date a Post was published you also change the address – so when you changed the address after the Post was published you created the not found error

    Ok that makes sense. Thank you. I thought the two events were connected, but wasn’t certain on exactly why it happened. So, I understand the problem now, but I’m not exactly sure how to fix it??
    If you have another minute, I’d appreciate your advice on how to repair my mistake. Thank you for your help!

    Take a look at this thread:

    Because Luscious is a premium theme I don’t know for certain that my idea of using the custom excerpt module will work as a way of notifying your email followers or not. It does work with many of the themes I’ve tried over time for custom email summaries (most themes do not have a functional custom excerpt feature).

    Thank you for the link/help!
    I also came across this about the error 404:

    Yes, 404 is what a broken link “page not found” error is often called.
