Moved site to root, now can't use pretty links

  • I was reading an older post about this, where someone was on Yahoo and moved their site to some location Yahoo doesn’t like, and then she could not use pretty permalinks. Sounds like she gave up and moved to another host.

    I am in the same bind now, but do not have the option of moving to a better host. I created a new site for my martial arts school, and my instructor has been with Yahoo for years so here we are.

    I moved the new site to root, edited all the info in the db to reflect the move, etc. Now the site is up and looking fine, but all the links have page_id info in them. Would much prefer the page titles, clearly!

    Has anything happened since 2 years ago (the date of the post I read) that would help with this problem? I’m looking at plugins but not sure if they will do anything helpful.

    Halp?

    Thanks

    Melissa

    New issue, just popped up. I was editing a page on the site I just moved, and now it’s not showing up.

    This is the site


    This is the problem page

    Everything else is fine. Menus look ok, all other pages will load but this one will either give me a blank page OR if I keep trying to load it, a 500 Internal Server Error. The only thing I edited on the page was a link to another page within the site. I’ve gone back into the editor for that page, tweaked the code, copied the html and set up a new page, etc, nothing is helping me out.

    The other odd behavior is that sometimes the editor will die (give me an error or blank page) too. And when I was nudging pages to see if I could figure anything out, I created a new page and added it to the menu… but it never showed up in the menu.

    So it’s like all of a sudden it’s not letting me edit things. Maybe Yahoo is telling me to go to bed. Ha.

    I am hoping that this is a temporary Yahoo problem, and that tomorrow morning the page will be back to normal and I can edit the site.

    But for now I will ask – does this seem familiar to anyone? Anyone have tips on how to troubleshoot this problem?

    Hating Yahoo more and more,

    500 Errors now gone.

    So weird.

    Will check tomorrow to see if folks have ideas about permalinks.

    Thanks and good night
