why after the update all the pages of the site became with an error 404! except forum pages
Your topic says nothing to let us help you. So please leave a forum URL, and a direct URL to the page with 404 error. In most cases, this could be a cache plugin issue or conflict with other plugins.
And don't forget to flush permalinks by navigating to WordPress Settings > Permalinks admin page and clicking the [Update options] button.
