# Why am I getting a 404 Error – Page Not Found?

WooCommerce POS requires URL rewrites in order to function correctly. This turns *ugly* URLs into *pretty* URLs, eg: `domain.com/?pos=1` becomes `domain.com/pos`. If you get a 404 error when trying to view the POS page please enable [*pretty* permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks) by going to `WP Admin > Settings > Permalink Settings`.

If you have enabled *pretty* permalinks but are still seeing a 404 error it's possible that your server is not configured correctly for URL rewrites. For information please [check the requirements](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#mod_rewrite:_.22Pretty_Permalinks.22) for your server environment. You may need to contact your web host with the above information if your server is not correctly configured.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faq.wcpos.com/error-messages/getting-404-error-page-not-found.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
