    Hi,
    I'm posting this for someone else who can't get to a computer at the moment but their developer has basically installed Yoast on a website and since installing the plug in, all the links in the menu have stopped working, so what was /contact for example now just returns a 404 error.

    Have tried deactivating Yoast but this hasn't helped so if anyone can help or suggest what to do get it back to the way it was until the developer can have a look at it further (he's not contactable at the moment which is why the urgent post is needed for help!)

    Any feedback appreciated!

    Yoast has likely clobbered some essential .htaccess file that WordPress generates to handle URL rewrites.
