permalinks and comments for 2011 stopped working

  • yesterday when i went to click on a blog entry, i got a 404 error. this happened for every single entry for 2011 but once i got back to my 2010 entries, everything is fine. a customer notified me this am that it is doing the same thing for comments. when you try to click on a comment for a 2011 entry, 404 error message shows up.

    i’ve tried changing the permalinks settings with no luck. i’m not very wordpress savvy so i’m at a loss as to what else to try and could not find anything in other discussions with this problem.

    What’s in your .htaccess file?

    i have tried to find the file you are referring to but cannot (like i said, not very wp savvy). can you tell me where that file would be?

    thanks.

    ok, a friend of mine who has been trying to help me with this got my .htacess file:

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

    # END WordPress

    my friend deleted the file and had it rewritten but it didn’t change anything.

    he looked over the site and what he discovered is if you take the /2011/ out of the permalink it works or if you add something in front of the 2011 it works just fine but for some reason it does not want the 2011 in there.

    Well I just got 404s for your posts with the 2010/
    in the permalinks as well.
    So I don’t think it’s something just with 2011/

    It could be something for sure with the WP3.1 upgrade though.

    Did you turn the permalinks to the ugly default ones? Then check and see if you can access your content?, then put your custom permalinks back in and see if they work?

    Did you try your site with the twentyten theme to see if the permalinks work with that theme?

    if 2010’s not working, that is something new. do you remember which one you tried?

    we just upgraded to wp3.1 about 30 minutes ago. this problem has been going on since monday.

    we did turn them to the ugly default and they worked fine. when we tried to go back to the 2011/ they stopped working again.

    i did not try it with a different theme as this is the same theme i’ve used since day 1. would my theme just up and stop working?
