When trying to delete an address from your Address Book, sometimes you may encounter with the error 404 (page not found). This happens because the delete link button works by adding a new link path structure to the WordPress permalinks system, which needs to be refreshed.
Deactivate and re-activate the Address Book add-on plugin to refresh permalinks #
The Address book add-on will refresh the permalinks structure when the plugin is activated or deactivated, yet, sometimes you may need to refresh it manually.
Refresh permalinks manually #
Follow the steps below to refresh the permalinks structure manually, without making any changes to it.
Please note that changing the permalinks structure can have devastating consequences to your links structure, break links on your website and others linking to it, consequently negatively impact your SEO rankings. Proceed with due diligence.
- Go to WP Admin > Settings > Permalinks.
- Do not make any changes.
- Click the “Save changes” button without making any changes. This will force refresh the permalinks structure without making any changes to how links work on your website.
- That is it.
