Question
404 Error Suddenly Appearing for www URL but non-www still working
This site, degrandchamps.com, has been up and running for a couple years now. Suddenly about two weeks ago the www URL quit working. When trying to access the site using www it returns a 404 error. I have researched and tried so many things I can’t even begin to start at what I have tried. I am getting pretty desperate as this client is quite frustrated. There were two errors at first. The one I corrected was that the www suddenly started returning that it wasn’t secured. I fixed that by reinstalling certbot and the certificates. This is a Wordpress site on Ubuntu 16.04 with Apache 2 installed.

Hello,
I believe that you either have two separate Apache Vhosts, one for your www version and one for the non-www version with different document root directories.
If this is the case what you need to do is:
Let me know how it goes!
If this is not the case, you could share your Apache Vhost for your domain here so that I could advise you further.
Regards, Bobby
