WP 3 and permalinks

  • Since upgrading to WP 3 I cannot use any permalink except the default. I have tried deleting the .htaccess file and re-activating a non-default option but to no avail? Would greatly appreciate help with this problem. Thanks in advance.

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – increasing the available memory?

    Hi,

    Try to set your desired permalink 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

    Now, check with blog posts and pages

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Many thanks for your suggesions but having tried all these options the problem remains. I am now convinced that it is not plugin related as on deactivating all the plugins, the problem was still there. Oddly, the permalinks do work with two of my seven categories although they don’t show the most recent posts first…from a search/traffic perspective I would really like to include the name of posts in the link….any more suggestions? Is it possible that my recently updated Atahualpa theme is effecting this in some way?

    Only way to know is to test your site on twentyten theme….. themes can mess up a site just like plugins can

    still no joy….???

    From what I’ve heard is that WP3 no longer requires a .htaccess file. Which explains why it isn’t there in the first place.
    But when trying to save my custom permalink format, WP3 does ask for a htaccess file… Seems to me WP3 isn’t completely bug free…

    Same here. Only default permalink works on local. (Live server works all fine.) I’ve double-checked all the above mentioned settings, incl. httpd.conf settings and urls remain broken. I didn’t have this sort of problem with 2.9. I wouldn’t mind the default permalink setting as long as developing on local, but simple press forum will not run at all, it apparently doesn’t like the default permalink.

    Well, now my page doesn’t link to any post anymore… Tried to set the permalinks to /%year%/%category%/%postname%/, but nothing. :S
    I now get:

    Not Found

The requested URL /wordpress/2010/07/testpost/ was not found on this server.

    If I set them back to the standard, ugly, ?P=N setting, it works fine, but I want pretty permalinks ??
    This is what I get:
    If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.
    Well, I’m sorry WP, but I do not HAVE a htaccess file, nor is it in the wordpress3.0 zip package. ??

    You can create an empty .htaccess in the root and set the chmod. The default permalink option doesn’t use it, the others do.
