Posts won’t display when permalinks are active

  • I had an issue where none of my posts would display when clicked from a category page. After a fair amount of monkeying around I discovered that the posts would show up if I turned permalinks back to default. I tried changing themes, I tried turning off all the plugins and nothing altered this behaviour. This is a fresh WP install with an existing site that has been imported into the install. Anyone have any bright ideas?

  • i has the same problem, after upgrade to 2.9.1,

    1. if the setting of permalinks were “custom” and did not change anything, it’s all ok.

    2. if the setting of permalinks were “custom”, and changed to “default”, it works, but if change again back to “custom”, it can’t find the post.

    Hi,

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

    # 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

    After that check with old and new posts.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Still no luck. I added that code in and am still getting the same result. Any other ideas?

    Have you changed anything in your wp_options in the database?
    Do you have any kind of plugin for permalinks or any activated plugins you are not using?

    a link would certainly help

    The site I’m working on is insuranceratedeals.com

    I took this site, previously working on another server and set it up on my clients server. Imported the old db and didn’t really change anything. I didn’t have any permalink plugins installed either.

    your permalinks are doubling for some reason
    what is your permalink structure?

    I would advise deleting the .htaccess entirely then regenerate your permalinks

    review permalink structure

    I want to use /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

    I just deleted the .htaccess file with no change.

    How do you mean doubling?
