Comments.Text: Thanks for asking! NO, that did return the 404 error. I changed the setting and it worked, YAY! Please explain: What does that setting do- does particular content need to be - or not be - on that page or other pages? Or feel free to point me toward documentation on it, I haven't found it

Comments.Text: The page can be empty but it needs to be there. CiviCRM uses it to display forms on the front-end since the homepage (which CiviCRM used to use once upon a time) may not call `the_content()`.

Title: Civi event links - Event Info-> 404 error
ThreadText: # Civi event links - Event Info-> 404 error
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-11-15)
  
  I'm a newby just getting started and trying to learn how to set up events in Civi (5.6.0), using Wordpress (fresh install tester site).
  
  In manage events, if I am looking at one of my events (which are saved, happy, and do show up via shortcodes on the Wordpress site) if I click 'event links' and then 'event info', I get a 404 error. All the other event links open fine.
  
  The URL it is trying to go to is this:
  <https://[myURL]/civicrm?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=4>
  
  Any idea how to get it to show the event page? Thanks!

  You need to create a Base Page (if it doesn't exist) and enter its slug in CiviCRM by going to "Administer > System Settings > CMS Database Integration".
