Individual post links not working

  • Hay Everyone,

    I am new to WordPress, have a logical mind and work in IT but i haev never delt with php before and its driving me insane. I need your help.

    I have seen this question posted many places, but none of the answers work for me. I have a new website which when visiting through teh main domain name url, all the links work fine, but it I for example post a link on facebook to a specifit post, none of the links will work ??

    I am a complete n00b and do not know how to fix, infact, during my attepmts to fix it, I have locked myself out among many other probelms (all which I have managed to resolve)

    Website (All Links Work) – https://www.rockonpromo.co.uk/ropv3
    Post (no links work) – https://www.rockonpromo.co.uk/ropv3/updates/changes-to-the-rop3-cd/

    Can anyone actually talk me through a complete dummy guide on how to fix this?

  • Both of those links work fine as far as I can tell.

    yes the links I posted work but

    Link A – when viewing the page, I can click all other links no problem.
    Link B – I can view the post ok, but then I click on any other link, I get page cannot be displayed ?? and If I am getting it, I am sure others are too.

    I have also recently round that soemtimes my theme disapears too and the page looks more like a mobile view.

    That sounds like a server issue. And your link problem could be coming from the same issue. Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting and deleting/renaming your WordPress .htaccess file. If this works, set a custom permalink structure back up again and check the links. If they start failing again, contact your hosts.

    ok Step1. I have reset teh permalinks to the default and it all works ??

    ?? ok now Im getting somewhere ??

    setting the permalinks to default gives me exactly what I want, all links work and I have no problems ?? BUT i would like to use prettylinks

    I backedup the .htaccess file and then deleted it, I set my permalinks back up /%category%/%postname% and links still seem to work.

    The only problem I have now is that I cannot link to an individual post, I will soon be start reviewing bands on teh site and I would like bands to be able to link directly to the post rather than the post getting lost as new posts take over.

    What should I try next ?

    ok.. found out why I couldnt access the individual post. I forgot to end my permalink structure with /

    Now its just back to square 1. Links on the main site work fine, but when linking to an individual post, the links on that page do not work.

    I will have a word with my host company but doubt I will get anywhere. I have set the permalinks to default. Its not ideal but everything works.

    Thanks Esmi ?? – If you have any other ides, let me know

    I’m having a similar problem and I’ve looked through the forums for an answer with no success.

    The problem is when I add a post to https://www.nancyalvarezwrites.com/category/newsletter/ the link in the body of the post doesn’t work. The text “First blast from the Nancy Alvarez newsletter, April 18, 2011” should be a link but it only works if you click on the post title link and get to the https://www.nancyalvarezwrites.com/little-nancy-blast/ page. I don’t mind if the title is a link I just want the link to work in the body of the post.

    I think it’s a permalink issue but I’m not sure how to resolve it. Can I change the permalink settings to default for this one case or will it effect all links sitewide?
