<p>I have an issue creating a new locale, I already have two set up 'en_gb' and 'en_au' and have added a third 'fr'. </p>

<p>I have added the new locale to general.php:</p>

<pre><code>'.com' =&gt; array(
  'siteUrl' =&gt; array(
        'en_gb' =&gt; 'https://xxx.com/',
        'en_au' =&gt; 'https://xxx.com/au/',
        'fr' =&gt; 'https://xxx.com/fr/'
    ),
  'devMode' =&gt; false
),
</code></pre>

<p>And have enabled that locale on the section with exactly the same settings as the others:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/K7d0i.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/K7d0i.png" alt=""></a></p>

<p>When I switch to the French locale on an entry I can live preview without a problem, but when I actually publish the page and visit it the entry cannot be found.</p>

<p>I'm well and truly stumped on why I can't access the published page. </p>

<p>When creating the locale I did have issues with failed tasks re-saving entries which I spent a lot of time trying to debug with <a href="https://craftcms.com/support/stuck-tasks" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this guide</a> without luck and with less hair. Would this be a cause considering the locale shows on an entry and the live preview works?</p>

Is the `/fr/` directory created in your public\_html folder?

Maybe try making a totally new entry for all 3 locales.
