Hi there,
Please kindly make sure that there is no slug conflict on your website regarding the news. So you need to make sure that no other section of the website use the /news/ as the URL trailing section.
You can test the case by adding a new page and call it news 1 and then go to Settings > Reading and set the posts page to that newly created one. See if it fixes the problem.
If yes, then go to X > Theme Options > Portfolio and make sure there is no NEWS in the portfolio slug option.
Also, go to Settings > Permalinks and make sure there is no section which has NEWS as the slug.
If you still have problems I also suggest that you follow the steps below:
- Test for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third-party plugins, and see if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.
- Reset your htaccess file by renaming it to
.htaccess-bak
. Then in WP Admin Menu, go to Settings > Permalinks and just click the Save Changes button.
Kindly get back to us with the result of the steps above and URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard using the Secure Note functionality of the post to follow up the case.
Thank you.
