WP 2.0 messed up my permalinks

    Hi!

    Today I upgraded 1.5.2 to 2.0. After the upgrade my permalinks are not working at all. I get WP generated 404’s on all pages. Once I set the permalink options to “Default” everything works fine again.

    After entering the permalink structure I used before the update (/%year%-%monthnum%/%postname%/) and pressing update I get 404’s. I tried deleting the .htaccess (which I didn’t keep from the 1.5.2 install, it must have been generated by 2.0), setting the permalink options to “Default” again and updating. After that I switched to “Custom” (/%year%-%monthnum%/%postname%/) again and updated to let WP write another .htaccess. This .htaccess reads:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    https://www.almehag.se/tmp/dump_env.html shows the base page generated by Dump Enviroment 1.0.1 (check the source) with the permalink structure I want to use enabled (/%year%-%monthnum%/%postname%/) if that helps anyone.

    Upping the old .htaccess I used for 1.5.2 again doesn’t work either. You can check out my old htaccess here: https://www.almehag.se/tmp/htaccess.txt . It is for some reason substantially bigger than the new one that WP2 has generated.

    My blog is here (I’ve changed the permalinks to “Default” for now as nothing else works): https://blog.almehag.se/

    Any help appreciated, I’m quite frustrated.

    Thanks in advance…

  • My problem is fixed (see post 2 before this one).

    I found out the mod_rewrite was not loaded in my httpd.conf file.

    Thanks to all the people that posted suggestions in all the threads on this problem. I assume that I still needed to have the Ryan updated files (which I do). If I get time, I will go back to the old ones and see what happens and post back here.

    I went back to the original classes.php and functions.post.php files that came in the WP 2.0 download (on 01/24/05 wordpress-2[1].0.zip)and all is still well, so either that download has been updated or whatever bug Ryan fixed hasn’t shown itself on my site.

    Thanks again to everyone.

    I’ve used Ryan’s fixes and I no longer get 404s on the main blog page with the most recent 10 or whatever posts showing. However, when clicking for individual posts I get a 404. Numeric permalinks work but the customs do not.

    Hi,
    I had this permalink 404 problem, but only with posts that had an apostrophe in the title! I used Ryan’s suggested fix of the new classes.php and functions-post.php and it cured the problem. Excellent! Thanks.

    I’ve tried all the stuff in the posting and other suggestions and my permalinks don’t work. I was using option 2 under WordPress 1.5.2 I guess. I also use a subdirectory https://blog.muschamp.ca

    I often linked to my old posts from my newer posts, none of these links work. I don’t get a 404, I just get the default front page with a different URI in the browser window.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi folks,

    I’ve got the permalinks working but my paging is still borked. Unfortunately, every time I try to download the new classes.php, Firefox has a seizure. Is the classes.php the problem or is it something else?

    Thanks.

    In case your web host is not compatible with the new WP 2.0.x abbreviated 9-liner htaccess file, you might find the older WP 1.5.x lenthy htaccess to work. This was the case for numeric permalinks and Fatcow web hosting. I’ve detailed the instructions at https://www.djchuang.com/2006/02/d1249

    Hi, I have experienced a similar problem since upgrading to WP 2.0.

    I have the permalink options set to Date and name based: https://www.lekkerhapje.nl/2006/03/13/bifteki/

    When I create a new post, I have no problems, all permalinks still work fine. I am guessing that is beacause WP doesn’t touch the .htaccess in that case.

    The problems come when I try to create (or update) a page. WP then tries to update .htaccess file. In the past it would add several lines to rewrite the page title in the url, but since WP 2.0 it changes the .htaccess into the new 9 line format. This causes all the permalinks to break, all of them leading to the home page when clicked.

    I have replaced the classes.php and functions-post.php files as detailed in the thread, but that doesn;t solve anything.

    Is there any way to get the “old?? way of generating .htaccess back? Right now the only thing I can do is revert to my old .htaccess file and manually add the rules for the new page evrytime I want to create one.

    I’m new to WP. Installed the latest version and permalinks doesn’t work. Tried the fix, didn’t work. ??

    Where can I get the previous version? I really need permalinks to work correctly.

    it seems there is still some error with the permalinks structure or maybe with ELA? as soon as I choose anything but the default setting under “permalinks” it breaks ELA and it will show nothing on the Archives page of my K2 install.

    I also have a problem with WP 2.0 and the .htaccess file. It’s odd but all my permalinks work fine, even though WP is not generating an .htaccess file. I have looked all over the place for it and it doesn’t exist.

    It’s great that my permalinks work, the problem is that my main page returns an internal 404 when it’s accessed with a trailing slash. E.g.:

    myblog.com/index.php

    works fine, but

    myblog.com/index.php/

    gives me an internal 404. This mystifies me. Can anyone give me some tips?

    I tried the two files from Ryan. No such luck. Please help! I started a new post… please help! It’s called
    “permalinks, .htaccess, and broken everything!”

    I have similar problem as outlined here: https://www.djchuang.com/2006/02/d1249 but on netfirms hosting

    I tried implementing the suggested changes but afterwards I too got a non-wp 404 error. So far I have tried every solution given in these forums and nothing seems to work. This must be a wp2x problem and I hope they fix it in future builds. For now I guess permalinks are not possible.

    Click around on my blog and tell me again how permalinks aren’t possible! ??

    There’s a lot there to read and try.

    In particular: Make sure your host not only has mod_rewrite turned on, but also has “AllowOverrides” turned on too.
