[Plugin: WP Super Cache] Broken permalinks

  • I tried to install WP Super Cache (without success – I got blank pages everywhere). I uninstalled it and now ALL my permalinks are broken. Only index pages show up (it’s a multisite install), but any other page/post/category gives a 404 error. Pictures don’t show either.

    What can be the cause of it? How can I revert the changes made by the plugin? I did (repeatedly) everything that was suggested in the instructions and reinstalled WP too. Nothing helps.

    Here’s one of the sites: https://filmowka.tv

    ETA: Saving the permalinks form again doesn’t help either.

    ETA2: So it turns out I can set the permalinks if I use a format different to what I had before. For example domain.com/index.php/2011/09/26/post-title works, but domain.com/2011/09/post-title doesn’t. How can I make the old permalinks work?

    The plugin’s FAQ says:

    23. After uninstalling, your permalinks may break if you remove the WordPress mod_rewrite rules too. Regenerate those rules by visiting the Settings->Permalink page and saving that form again.

    I didn’t remove the WordPress mod_rewrite rules, they’re still there. Here’s what my htaccess looks like:

    # BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

    Could you please explain what your plugin does to the permalinks that they stop working? How am I supposed to fix it when I don’t even know where to look?

    As I said earlier, I run a multisite – without problems until now. At this point none of my clients’ sites work. It is serious.

    The plugin doesn’t do anything to the permalinks so I don’t know why you’re seeing this problem. If there are other rules in the .htaccess file they may be conflicting with your site.

    Maybe check your options table in case the permalinks structure is saved twice by accident?
