Permalinks apparently cause site failure

  • Hi,

    Earlier this year this site (https://netoworkingforproducers.com) had a nice permalink structure with the page names are links. However, after it had been up for months with no problem, suddenly the whole site failed to show up. I was able to access the admin backend and discovered that by changing the permalinks back to id=number…, the pages showed up again.

    Now I want to add a blog to the site and want it to be on https://networkingforproducers.com/blog instead of https://networkingforproducers.com/?page_id=132.

    Does anyone know why the site failed and if you think it is safe to change the permalink structure back to a custom structure rather than the default page_id structure?

    Thanks,
    Christiana

  • Hi,

    Set your desired permalink from wordpress admin area and add this code in htaccess of your blog:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Now, check with your blog posts/pages.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    This is exactly the same problem I am having. I have done what is suggested several times and it did not fix my problem. Any other ideas.
