Well it seems to work when I set the permalinks to plain. If I move them back to date / month it stops working again. any ideas

However you have it set now, it works for me. (That is possibly the slowest theme I’ve ever seen!)

How are you hosting this site? Shared hosting, VPS, dedicated server?

Yeah it is a little slow. Its on a VPS thats actually very fast. Nothing else on it other than this. These modern themes are just too fancy for their own good IMO.

I need to set the permalinks back to date though not plain.

VPS? OK… my bet is you have a problem in your Virtual Host config.

In the file where you configure your virtual host for this site, add these three lines:

<Directory /replace/with/path/to/wordpress>
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

then restart httpd / apache

The default is “AllowOverride None” so Apache ignores .htaccess.

Thanks man. Yeah there’s defo something wrong as I can’t update the core either. This VPS is a very basic server that needs a lot of config. Its super cheap but I’m relying on my mate whos a dev having the time to config it correctly for me. its only ￡3 per month but it comes with nothing. I’m starting to doubt how wise the decision was to use this service.

Thanks for the help anyway mate I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it!
