Archive links broken

  • Hi,

    For some reason my archive links have just stopped working. I tried changing my permalink structure and updating my .htaccess. I even manually updated .htaccess just to be safe but still no luck.

    The “catagory” archives work fine. It’s just the monthly ones that are broken.

    Any help greatly appreciated!

  • Hi perhaps you need to re-save your permalinks as mentioned here?

    thanks for the suggestion cakmin but i’d already tried that and still no success.

    I haven’t found anything on the forums that will fix it.

    still searching for a solution.

    You’re currently using Default permalinks, yes?

    If so, you shouldn’t have anything from WP in your .htaccess. If you do, could you try removing that content?

    sure…i tried switching to a different permalinks structure (numeric)…and updating the .htaccess file accordingly but it still didn’t work.

    i just cleared the .htaccess file using the wp manage>file menu and re-applied “default” as teh permalink setting…still now luck.

    thanks for any help

    Odd.

    If you (termporarily) change to the Default theme, do those monthly links then work?

    ahhh…good point. I’ll check. Yes, it does work if i switch back to the default theme.

    I’ll see if i can grab the correct code from that and add it to my custome theme.

    Any tips on what i should be looking for?

    thanks so much for your help

    The Default theme uses this for the archives:

    <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>

    well crap. that’s what’s in the existing file. so it appears to be correct. it just won’t work.

    Meridith is more advanced with a working understanding of the .htaccess. As I understand it, you change the permalink structure and WP writes it’s own .htaccess.

    I am not using the default permalink structure and have been getting notification of 404 page errors from archive requests via my page.

    I have changed back to the default structure to see if I get anymore notifications. Do I need to delete the htaccess?

    Or do I need to write innto the .htaccess to ‘get’ archives? I am using three custom schemes.

    Having a similar issue here. Tried switching permalink settings (default, none, custom), switched back and forth from themes including default. Everything ends in 404.

    Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    the desired permalink structure would be /%category%/%postname%/ .
