Single Use Custom Page Template (404 error)

[Anonymous]

I’ve developed a Single Use Custom Page Template and am receiving a 404 error when attempting to visit that specific page. However, it is inconsistent, at times it will load, but the majority of loads result in a 404 error. In making the Page Template I moved a copy of page.php to my child theme, and renamed the file page-classes.php. I also made a Classes page within WordPress.

Did I make a mistake of some sort? How can this be resolved?

It isn’t hosting related because I’m working locally and this is page specific. I’m pushing to a server weekly though in order for my client to view new content, so if you need access that can be accommodated.

Hi @ryanmaler
Please confirm are you using Page Attribute options for it or just using slug approach ( page-{slug}.php ) to display your page.

<?php /* Template Name: Class Template */ ?>

@vapvarun I’m using the slug approach being that it is for a specific, single page. Also, I currently have Boss 2.1.0 installed and the Child Theme active.

Hi @ryanmaler
It seems, permalink need to be flushed.
Try following inside your child theme

function bb_flush_rewrite_rules() {
    flush_rewrite_rules();
}
add_action( 'after_switch_theme', 'bb_flush_rewrite_rules' );

@vapvarun I dropped that code snippet into my Child Theme’s functions.php and the error persists. Additionally, I emptied my browsers cache and the error remained.
