Hi Ben,

Chances are it’s an issue with the `.htaccess` file for the newly created site.

I’d try the following:

1. Open the `.htaccess` file in the site’s `app/public` folder
2. Remove all of its contents and save the file
3. Go to the site’s WordPress Dashboard
4. Go to Settings » Permalinks and re-save
