    I can not get onto the WP site at all, and get a warning there has been a critical error and code 404.
    I can get onto the page of the domain site it hosts without a problem and view the pages as a visitor.
    Whilst I am reasonably competent the amount of stuff I can see on 404 code it has made me dizzy! I their a simple way I can get into the WP main page to see if I can sort it?
    Thank you in anticipation of your help.
    John.

    404 is a message that appears when the content or page is no longer available due to various reasons. It might be accidentally deleted.

    The site that you have mentioned above is not opening at all. First of all, are you using wordpress.com or wordpress.org? They both have differences. It seems that your website is not using wordpress.com . To solve the issues with wordpress.org sites, you need to have access to its back-end.

    Just type /wp-admin/ after your domain and try to access it. If you are not able to access the wp-admin page, then it is possible that the site is not configured properly or there are errors with your database. Maybe, the DNS settings from domain and hosting are not configured properly. If the site is new, it might take upto 24-48 hours to resolve these DNS properly depending upon the registrar you might be using.

    We recommend you follow the WordPress Installation Guide properly here: https://wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/

    After reading the guide, verify that you have done everything correctly. Moreover, you can take help from WordPress(org) experts here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Hope this helps.
