Links go nowhere but the home page – I’ve tried tons of things

    The site in question is https://www.teamseacats.com. Before I upgraded to the latest WordPress version, I began having trouble that none of the links (article title, comments, next page, etc.) are working on the site except the “edit” and other administrative links. They had worked fine previously. I researched the problem and did every suggestion I could find. I changed the permalink structure to every setting and tried some manual ones and then changed it back. I recreated the .htaccess file manually and then let WordPress permalink function do it automatically. I changed the theme several times. Nothing seems to have an affect on the links but somehow I still suspect that it a permalink problem that is related perhaps to the htaccess file. The problem continues even after upgrading WordPress. The contents of the current .htaccess file is as follows:


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

  • Page has been loading for over 2 minutes… Going on 3 now. Guess flickr’s a bit slow… Did notice you have a LOT of bad/unclosed/unbalanced tags though.

    Yosemite – I am agreed flickr Zeist or Badges hogs too much of memory. And your page is never completely loaded, as it keeps downloading. I was too running and now have removed flickr Zeist.

    OK…I removed the flikr badge – I wasn’t a big fan of it either. So now, about my problem….any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance,

    Everybody has the same .htaccess file since WP 2.x version.
    There is something screwed with the install or the server… or the permalinks.
    Even when trying
    https://www.teamseacats.com/whatever.html
    or
    https://www.teamseacats.com/whatever.php
    it still goes to your blog index.

    Did you try setting the permalinks to the default and deleting (removing) the .htaccess?

    Well I’ll be…that did it! Thank you! I would rather have my permalinks less than perfect but links all working. Why is it, then, that every time I put any wordpress permalink information in the .htaccess file that the links stop working?

    Likely because your host either doesn’t have mod_rewrite going or AllowOverrides on.

    However, there may be other reasons. See the Troubleshooting section on the Permalinks page for other things to check.

    That would explain why the problem strangely appeared after it had been working before. Thanks – I’ll persue it with the host.
