Joomla 3 pages not showing in live mode

I am new to Joomla and PHP, I hope someone can help please. I have checked the forum, but have not found anything to help me for the Joomla version I have.

System Details

  • Joomla: 3.2.0 Stable
  • PHP: 5.4.14
  • Server: Apache

I have worked through setting up a Joomla site and had the site working while the Site offline mode was switched on.

I reached the point to want to test the site live and switched the site live back on and now I am getting 404 errors when I want to access the site.

I went back through the permissions and ensured everything is set to public for the articles etc. The language files are set to All.

Again, I am sure this is probably a quick and easy fix, (hoping) or otherwise I will need to rebuild the site; which I want to try to avoid if possible.

Hoping someone can help me as soon as possible, if you have any suggestions.

What does the 404 page look like? Is it the Joomla 404 page, or your web server 404 page? Check the permissions for your menu and menu items in your Menu Manager, as well as the menu module in your Module Manager. – Mark Simpson
Hi Mark it is the Joomla 404 page and I have checked the menu and menu items. Since posting this, three of the menu links are now working and I can access those pages content. However, I am still having the problem with four other pages. Which I cannot figure out what is happening... Access is the same as the pages that are showing, the menu permissions are correct.... Any other thoughts? appreciate your time.. Regards Jennifer – Jennifer
Maybe try clearing your Joomla and browser caches? If you ask on the joomla forums, you'll usually get people who'll be willing to log into your website and try and fix it for you. Worth a try if the alternative is to trash your site and rebuild from scratch. – Mark Simpson
Thanks Mark, yeah already tried the cache cleaning as one of the first options.... appreciate your help. Anyway, will keep searching for an answer.. before the dreaded rebuild takes place.. :) cheers again Regards Jennifer – Jennifer
Thanks Mark and Elin for your time, I have found the issue; I had not published the categories and so that stops the pages appearing in public mode. again thaks for taking the time to help. It was greatly appreciated. Regards – Jennifer
