Permalinks only work for DEFAULT
-
We installed the Apache2 module mod_rewrite many months ago to enable WordPressMU to enable multiple sites under a single installation of WordPress. In the end that was too complicated, with virtual hosts and all the rest, so we decided just to make separate installations of WordPress for each site.
mod_rewrite is configured by WordPress for each site by entries in .htaccess in the root of the site. The configuration occurs by using Site Admin → Settings → Permalinks in WordPress and then selecting among the options.
mod_rewrite refuses to operate in any but its Default Permalink option. In the Default configuration the test page link reads:
https://localhost/nptbeyond/?page_id=70With any other choice of Permalink settings it reads
https://localhost/nptbeyond/test/This is the Post name format and different from all the others. But this is the only format returned by other than Default and the link returns a 404 error.
I am not doing the configuring. WordPress rewrites the wordpress section in .htaccess whenever I choose a different format, and they are all the same for any choice other than Default. Since the returned form is the same for all choices other than Default, instead of the provided examples, the WordPress configuration of mod_rewrite is clearly broken.
Many hours of searching, many offered solutions, none work.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance. Cheers, Andy
