My resume URL returns 404 — what should I do?

A 404 error on a resume URL usually means WordPress permalink rules need refreshing, or the post is not published.

Fix 1 — Flush permalinks

  1. Go to Settings → Permalinks
  2. Click Save Changes (no need to change settings)
  3. Retry your resume URL

Do this after first installing Rezicraft or after migrating hosts.

Fix 2 — Confirm publish status

  1. Open the resume in the editor
  2. Confirm status is Published, not Draft or Pending
  3. Update if needed

Fix 3 — Check the URL slug

Resume URLs follow this pattern:

TXTCopy

https://yoursite.com/resume/your-slug/

Confirm the slug matches what you expect. Resumes use the rewrite base resume.

Fix 4 — Caching

If you use a caching plugin or CDN, purge cache after publishing or changing slugs.

Fix 5 — Conflicting plugins

Rarely, SEO or redirect plugins conflict with custom post type URLs. Temporarily disable other plugins and test again.
