MultiSite 404 Error on Second Pages

worked for me too.

No physical folder. I am still able to reproduce once I close the browser and then go direct to the blog. After I click on one of the pages “Home”, etc. It seems to work until I create a new browser session and go directly to the blog site again.

Do you have any caching plugins on the site?

No caching.

Hello! I’m having a similar problem.

I am using a child theme for Thematic. I am using the custom permalink setting /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/. For some reason, when you scroll down and click “older posts” I get a 404 page.

I am using 1and1 and my mod_rewrite is on, I don’t know why this is happening.

I’ve tried-

deleting my htcassess, disabling all my plugins, changing the custom permalink settings to include %post_id%, every single plugin that exists, changing my reading settings.

do i have to change it to match my reading settings which are 5 posts per page?

the code in my blog template is

<?php
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => get_option( ‘posts_per_page’ ), ‘paged’ => $paged ) );
$more = 0;
?>

please help!! I’d be so thankful!

JennRost – Please make your own post.

exact same problem here, it is sporatic and once you close and re-open, it comes back.. Is there a resolution for this? I can confirm all my settings are same as russepps above, occurs on multisite installation with 23 blogs, regardless of what theme is used.

eric.lasher – The odds are that it’s your server and/or a plugin, as there’s nothing in WP alone that’d do that.

We are still having the same issue as noted above, we have upgraded to 3.3.1 and still no luck… You should be able to replicate it https://blog.unmc.edu/ click on one the blogs and go to the older posts to see what i’m talking about. Here is .htaccess

Quick FYI, tried with twentyeleven theme with zero addons and still had the same problems

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Pro Tip: We actually love it if you make your own topics for issues ??

Make sure ALL your plugins are turned off. Failing that, it’s something to do with how apache’s reading your .htaccess

And if it is sporadic then it is definitely to do with your server. Talk to your web host.

So I have been having this same problem, and may have stumbled across a solution…

So I was just tinkering, seeing what happened if I did different things. So I deactivated all plugins site-wide, reverted back to default theme, and it was still happening. It WASN’T happening on the default permalinks, so I thought I was on the right track.

So I jumped in my FTP client, and saw that .htaccess was actually written as .htaccess.txt. No idea why, but I knew it had to be .htaccess. So I renamed it, and so far, the website is back to normal, with the custom theme activated, plugins going, and the standard %postname% permalinks activated.

Hope this helps some of you guys
