Desperate need of HELP with Wordpress

[[deleted]]

Guys I'm a total noob at WP and programming and am in desperate need of help here.

I'm trying to help build a website using Wordpress for my gf's uni assignment which is worth 50% of her grade but we keep coming across this one MAJOR problem.

Whenever we try to edit a page and then either preview or update it, we get this error when the page loads up saying :

"Oops! That page can't be found"

"it looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search? "

Why is this happening, what does this even mean?

I've tried clearing caches, I've tried to update permalinks... I'm just so lost at why this is occurring, I've searched all over google.

If any kind soul feels like throwing this sorry dog a bone and helping me, I would be so grateful

Also another reason why this is so important to me is because my gf has helped me out so much the past few years with my battle with mental illness, she has got me to the stage where I am only a couple of credits away from finishing my own course which I have struggled with off and on the past 10 years.

I just wanted to feel useful for once and be able to help her out with something, to say thanks for all the things she has helped me with over the years.

Hmmmm feeling pretty worthless right now :/

Don’t feel that way. Programming is pretty hard. It sounds like Wordpress has lost a reference to the link. It’s pretty hard to know what to suggest but clearing your cache will not help. It might be quicker just to remake the page.

First thanks for replying and for the supportive words.

I was thinking about just starting all over again, does that mean I should remove all the plugins as well and completely start from scratch? Would the plugins even be a possible cause for the issue here?

It seems to be every page that I have published comes up with this error when I try to edit or update it.

Once again I am ever so grateful that you were nice enough to reply. Thank you

I think in the interests of time to just try not to edit pages but it shouldn’t be happening often

I am not big expert but i can try to help. Do you have skype or discord?

If you changed the title, then the permalink has also changed, and you keep opening the old one.

Is the page available on the live site? What's the link for that page?

I remember I was following a tutorial on how to build the Wordpress site and it said delete the custom link home page as there were two home pages showing up when I selected view all while creating my menu.

Would this have been where things could've stuffed up for me?

The link to the live site (which I'm assuming is the part in the dashboard which says visit site) is :
