Page unavailable to 404 Not found

[testmode1]

I spent the entire day building out my site only to publish it and then get the "Page unavailable" error mesage. I read several posts in the community about the Language setting, so I followed those steps to remove the "en-us" slug. 

However, now I am receiving the "404 Not Found" error and I can't get my site to work at all. I've tried adding a "home" slug and removing it, but now it seems like it's not saving without any slug. 

I just want to use my straightforaward web address, www.trailgrades.com

Thanks you! Unpublishing and re-publishing did the trick.

@testmode1 that's great, I'm glad you were able to get everything working!

@testmode1 you'll need to go to Settings > Content > Blog and scroll down to add some text like "blog" in the Blog Slug so that it isn't parked on your root domain. Doing this will allow you to remove the "home" from the home page Content Slug and your root domain will work properly.

I made that adjustment but now I'm experiencing navigation issues. Are the additional pages (everything but the home page) supposed to be built out as Webpages or Landing pages?

@testmode1 all of your pages should be website pages unless it's a conversion page (for example a landing page would be used for a google ad campaign).

It looks like you have everything correct, except you have two pages that look like home pages, the one with nothing after the root domain and the one with /home - I would give one of those a unique name and then adjust your navigation accordingly.

I've tried the URLs for the pages listed and get a 404 error for all of them. Since you changed your language settings after your DNS was connected, can you try unpublishing and republishing each page? This would trigger the server to recognize the URLs and avoid the delay for it to accept the change serverside.
