Permalinks and 404 Errors at random times

  • I’m at a loss with this one. I’ve got permalinks activated for a WordPress blog I’m working on for a client, but I unfortunately can’t link to the page since it’s an internal/private blog.

    What’s going on is that I have my .htaccess file setup perfectly, I have the Apache server reading mod_rewrite, and I have the permalinks set to this structure: /%category%/%postname%/ — but the problem is that whenever I try to move to the next page (ie. https://blog.com/page/2/) I get a 404 error. My sidebar however is linking properly to the blog posts (ie. https://blog.com/category-name/post-name/).

    I’m going nuts trying to figure out what the problem is here. I even switched servers.

    Anyone have any idea what the problem may be???

  • Are you using query_posts?

    Yes. I’ve used this code to show one category on the home page:

    <?php query_posts ($query_string . '&cat=1'); ?>

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<div class="avatar"><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '50' ); ?></div>
				<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
				<div class="meta">Posted on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?> with <?php comments_number('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit this Post', '[', ']'); ?></div>
				<p><?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?></p>
			</div>

			<div class="comments"><?php comments_template(); ?></div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<div id="pageno"><?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?></div>
	<div class="clear"></div>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
		<?php get_search_form(); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

    Try changing:

    <?php query_posts ($query_string . '&cat=1'); ?>
    to:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
	'cat' => 1,
	'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>

    If that doesn’t help, try replacing <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?> with either posts_nav_link or next_posts_link / previous_posts_link.

    Hmm, neither seem to work. I’ve been toying with the both of them trying multiple instances for the past 2 weeks and I can’t get either to work.

    Now the monthly archives aren’t working anymore either. Site went live by the way, any idea?

    This is my entire code structure for the home page:

    <?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<?php query_posts ($query_string . '&cat=1'); ?>

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<div class="avatar"><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '50' ); ?></div>
				<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
				<div class="meta">Posted on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?> with <?php comments_number('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit this Post', '[', ']'); ?></div>
				<p><?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?></p>
			</div>

			<div class="comments"><?php comments_template(); ?></div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>

	<div class="clear"></div>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
		<?php get_search_form(); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
