Changing Permalinks

    I’m using Solostream’s WP Ellie and am trying to change my permalink structure from the WP default to a custom structure. I was able to change it and redirect existing links using Dean’s Permalink Migration Plugin, BUT the links on the bottom of the homepage (typically “More” or “Older” but I’m using the Page Navi Plugin so right now they’re numbered) won’t update..I keep getting a page not found error. I’ve tried disabling the Page Navi plugin and it did not help. I’ve had to go back to the default structure.

    How can I fix this?

    I’m a newbie and tried to research this issue but haven’t been able to resolve. Please help!

  • And what custom permalink structures(s) did you try? Have you reviewed Using_Permalinks?

    I tried all of them and only the default worked. I think it’s the Page 2 404 error that others have experienced. I did review the using permalinks info and am still trying to sort through all the info. There’s a lot out there to go through and I haven’t yet found a solution. I’m a newbie so any insight you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Does your front page’s template (presumably index.php) use a custom query? Something like <?php query_posts();?>?

    Hi,

    Reset your desired permalink and add this code in htaccess of your blog:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Now, check with blog posts/pages.

    Thanks,

    Shane, THANK YOU SO MUCH! It worked! I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent trying to figure this out! Thanks a million! I have no clue what that code means, but my site is running smoothly!

    Esmi, thank you as well!
