Answers.Text: Thank you for this. The one thing I hadn't done is change the Permalinks setting from "Default" to "Post name" which fixed everything. This really should be in the documentation somewhere or perhaps I missed it.

  Can we verify a few things?
  What are your WordPress permalinks set to?
  They should be Post Name (%postname%)   That setting is here:  example.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php
  This will add to your .htaccess file the following:
  # BEGIN WordPress
  
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  
  
  # END WordPress
  
  Now can you go to example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/admin/setting/uf&reset=1
  This is the menu option Adminsiter -> System Settings -> CMS Database Integration.
  You should see 'civicrm' in the WordPress Base Page setting.   If not, add it there.
  Confirm that there is a WordPress page titled 'CiviCRM' in the list of WordPress Pages: example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
  This page should have a permalink of example.com/civicrm
  Once all these settings are in place, you should be good.
