  1. try these solution if it helps

    1) change your permalink structure to default just to check

    or

    2) create a .htaccess file on root and insert this code

    your .htacces file looks like this:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /name_of_your_wordpress_installation_folder/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
