Imported posts/categories won’t direct to it’s own page

  • I have imported my wordpress.com posts to a host that I’m currently using the wordpress software on. The problem is that whenever you click on a posts title from the main page, it won’t redirect to the actual post. The same thing is true when you click on comments, or even categories.

    The site in question.

    Do you have an .htaccess file on your site? What’s in it?

    Yep, I had to create my own in public_html.

    This is all that’s in it:

    php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
    php_value post_max_size 20M
    php_value max_execution_time 200
    php_value max_input_time 200

    Should I add something to that file?

    You had permalinks customized at the old site. Did you set them to the same configuration at the new one?

    Did you even update permalinks at all? I doubt it. You said you created your own htaccess file. If you’re using “pretty permalinks” WordPress automatically creates it. It’s contents look like…

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I thought I had updated the permalinks already, but it turns out that .htaccess wasn’t writable.
