WordPress 3.0.1 – Blank Permalinks Page (Possible Solution)

  • I think I may have found the issue to the blank permalinks page, at least on the latest version (3.0.1). After several minutes of manual debugging, I have found that two groups of code cause the issue…
    Around line 92:

    if ( ! got_mod_rewrite() && ! $iis7_permalinks )
	$prefix = '/index.php';

    Around line 153:
    $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

    Commenting these two groups of code allow the permalinks page to be displayed without any issue. Updating the permalinks settings also work with no problems now. I hope that commenting this code has no catastrophic results, and that this info can help with the next bugfix release. ??

    any luck?

    One problem that I see here – which file are you making the changes to?

    There a lot of files in WP.

    Thanks

    I have been experiencing the same situation.

    PHP 5.3.3
    WP 3.0.1

    As a server admin – the solution that I found to resolve the issues with a lot of scripting issues was to simple down grade my PHP version back to build 5.2.14 and this took care of the permalinks issue.

    Hope this helps

    I am trying to install BuddyPress for a new site, but as permalinks page is blank I cannot complete the install.

    Have any of you very clever guys come up with a solution to this problem that a novice can follow? I run on windows and WP 3.0.1. but also has the same issue on WP3.0.

    Your advice is appreciated.
