Multisite 3.1.1 – only 'pages' cannot be displayed with permalinks

Whats your .htaccess?

Are you using SubFolder or SubDomain WordPress?

I am using a SubDomain. Here is the htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
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
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

There’s one problem! Change it to this:

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

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

Thanks Ipstenu.

I replaced my htaccess file with this code and I am still getting the same error.

Have you tried the normal ‘disable all plugins’ test?

Yes, when I de-activate all plugins, instead of showing the error it displays the home page (but not the actual page I am looking for).

That’s … odd. Was that your WHOLE .htaccess? I mean, you don’t have other redirects in there?

Also, check with your host that mod-rewrite is working.

Can you repro this error on subblogs?

Yes, that is the complete htaccess. I will check with the host. What’s weird is that posts and archives work via permalink, only pages don’t.

I will try creating another subblog and see if it persists.

Thanks for your help.

Link?

I will try creating another subblog and see if it persists.

Is this happening on the MAIN blog or just a subblog? Yes it matters ??

Hi there,
I’m also having the exact same problem.
I’m hosting wordpress on my own server, and the articles show up fine, including the contact and about me section, but the categories and the main page show the message,.
