Permalink viewing problem

  • Hi there,

    I’m having trouble with my permalinks. I’ve installed WordPress 3.0 on a 1&1 hosting account (no shell access) and it went well with the exception of the permalinks. I have 2 problems:

    1) The permalinks don’t show unless I’m logged in, which means that visitors don’t see a permalink link.

    2) I’ve set the permalink format to custom, with /%postname%/ as the format, but when I do see the permalink links they are still in the default format like ?p=123.

    As a side note, even when I had the permalink format on the default, the permalink links still didn’t show up unless I was logged in.

    Thanks,

    Bill Nelson

    i get to this post fine
    https://wezombie.com/the-walking-dead-the-movie/
    which shows /%postname%/ is working fine – and I’m definitely not logged in

    Sounds like the reverse of what I am currently dealing with.

    After upgrading to 3.0, I added a page named “Contact.” I now no longer have access to my front page, yet I can access all others by using page/# or using a permalink for each post.

    If this is offtopic, I apologize as for I just came across this post and gathered it was similar.

    https://www.geoffsnyder.com (which now redirects to the new page “contact” for some reason)

    Thanks,
    Geoff

    did you perchance set the contact page to be static?

    Hi samboll,

    Thanks for checking on that. So the permalink doesn’t show on the main page – just on the post’s page itself? I didn’t realize that’s how it worked. Thanks for your help!

    Bill.

    @samboll

    I tried both. After further testing, I found the issue to do with the .htacess file. I installed Urban Giraffe’s “redirection” plugin and made a few adjustments after allowing for the logs to generate. All seems fine now.
