    Hello,

    My post permalinks have recently stopped working for no apparent reason. The have need fine for about 4 months and have only recently stopped working.

    My Pages and Archives are still ok but all posts (new and old) no longer work. The adress in the link is fine but when the page loads i get an error. (to explain, the post comes on the main page but i can vist the post directly)

    I am using the Techozoic Fluid theme

    I have tried the following-

    Reverting to default theme
    disabling all plug-ins
    ensured my htacess file is writable
    reset my permalinks

    none of this works.

    If i revert to the ‘normal’ links the posts work fine.

    Can anyone help

  • Just had a similar problem using a custom permalink structure. I changed the structure back to “default” then back to its custom structure, seemed to fix everything.

    Anymore help on this?

    Have you opened your htaccess file to make sure it’s as it should be? You hadn’t mentioned that.

    Also plonk this somewhere in your theme, it’ll grab the entry in the database for the permalink structure…

    <?php if (current_user_can('level_10')) { echo '<h1 style="position:absolute;top:10px;left:10px;background:#fff">'.get_option('permalink_structure').'</h1>'; } ?>

    You’ll need to be logged in as the admin to see it, or you can adjust the level in the code so editors can see etc… of course you could check the entry manually in the database if you know how.. (above code is purely a simple approach if you don’t know how to use PHPMYADMIN etc)

    If both htaccess and the database entry are as they should be, it might be worth creating a new htaccess file, simply to see if it helps..

    Hello,

    Thanks for the reply,

    What should it say in my htacess file? I appear to have 2 of them. 1 is a text file that says; RewriteEngine on

    The other file won’t open.

    My media uploader does not work could this be part of the same prpblem?

    I should also say i have 2 totally seperate versions of wordpress running on the same host. They both have the same problems with both the posts and uploader.

    You could try deleting or renaming (to deactivate) the .htaccess file(s) so that a new one is created. Also, contact your web host since maybe something’s changed with them. See:

    How do i do that?

    iridiax, thanks for the renaming tip. I simply renamed my .htaccess file that lived in the same folder as my “wp-admin”, “wp-content”, and “wp-includes” folders to “.htaccessBACKUP”. Then I went back to the permalinks page at wp-admin/options-permalink.php, and reentered my permalink structure, and all was solved. Thanks again
