 Dear WordPress Support Team,

 I hope this message finds you well. We are reaching out to bring attention
 to an issue we've encountered with some of our blog posts on our WordPress
 site. Out of over 4,900 posts, several older posts—particularly those
 published around two years ago—are returning 404 errors when accessed
 publicly.

 These posts are still present in the database and accessible via the
 WordPress admin panel. However, they only become publicly available if we
 manually search for the post in the admin panel and click "View." Without
 this intervention, the posts result in 404 errors, which is concerning for
 our SEO performance and user experience.

 Given that these blog posts are valuable and part of our long-term content
 strategy, we are keen to resolve this issue as it has a direct impact on
 our site's reputation and SEO rankings. We would greatly appreciate it if
 your team could investigate this matter further on your end to identify
 the cause and help us rectify the situation.

 Thank you for your time and assistance. We look forward to your guidance
 or next steps.

 Best regards,
 Nilesh Chavan
