Permalink trouble.

    I’ve tried updating with category/postname, but it won’t let me.

    WordPress didn’t generate a htaccess file by default, so I had to make one.

    So I made the file with the code that I was supposed to use, and it did change the links, but the links themselves did not work. I got 404s.

    It’s like the faux directories were looking for real directories. =(

    This isn’t my site, but this is an example of how I want my URLs to look.
    The categories start with ‘category’, and then their name.

    https://www.animewish.net is my site.

  • Hi,

    You got the 404 error message on old posts/links? Can you please paste the htaccess code which you are using so on that we can help?

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Uhm, they aren’t old links/posts.. they just already exist. >_>;

    But okay. I will.

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

    what hosting company do you use?

    Sometimes you have to wait until the top of the hour for your Permalink to take effect. Until then, your site might be broken.

    It’s 8:45pm right now were I am. Wait until 9pm and see if it fixes itself.

    Uh.. I’d have to redo it, and I don’t use a hosting company.
    I’m hosted by a friend who has dedicated servers.

    So.. I suppose I should talk to him about setting up the pretty links first. Since he’s my host admin. ^^;

    Lots of troubleshooting at Permalinks that might be helpful for you or your friend.

    In particular, confirm that mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are both on and enabled.

    …How do I figure that out? ^_^;

    Ah. Thank god my friend came on. He fixed the permalinks for me the way I wanted.

    Thanks for the help though!
