OK – I am not good at this –

I just upgraded to 2.1.2 also –

After the ‘upgrade’ yada yada yada………

When I went to the web site https://www.eicexclusive.com – I received the ‘Browser generated error) Page cannot be found.

Well, this sort of sucked – my entire site is ‘PAGES’ –

I went to the Dashborad, Options , permalinks –
Set it the ‘default’ and saved.

After that – the only Page that displayed was ‘my Post’ – I only have the one ‘default post’.
Now when I went to the web site – the ‘default post’ was displayed as my ‘intro/first page.

To access my Home page –
I had to click on it from the left side bar menu –

BUT – none of the other pages would display – I just got the – The page cannot be found – error.

So I went back to Dashboard, Options, Home Page Control –
I use the Filosofo Home-Page Plugin –

I reset and resaved my home page setting –
This did not correct the problem –

And when I was viewing the web site –and I clicked on any of the other ‘pages’ –
(the actual links to them in the left side panel (in the contents area (renamed to Directory for my clients web site)) – Anyway – when I clicked on any of them –
I still got the browser generated error – The page cannot be found –

When I went to the Dashboard, Manage, Pages –
All of my pages are still there –
I click/select any of them and they are displayed in the editor –
BUT the ‘Preview area says – The page cannot be found –

So I went to Dashboard, Options, Permalinks – it was still Set to ‘default’ –

BUT – My Home page was still actually my ‘Default Post’ (the only Post that I have – which i do not even use)

But – NOW the other pages are displayed as normal – click on the link and the page displays.

My solution to the ‘problem’:

In my case I:
Went to the dahboard –
Went to Manage Pages –
Found my ‘Home Page’ –
Clicked on Edit –
When it was fully displayed –
I opened the HTML (Source) and copied everything –

Then:

I Went to Manage Posts –

I only have one Post –
I clicked on Edit –
When the Post was fully loaded –
I clicked on the HTML (Source) –
After it was fully displayed –
I cleared/cut all of the original data/info –
I then pasted my ‘Home Page’ info into the Post –
I saved it and the web site works OK –

In reading the previous post, my understanding of the ‘Pages’ not being found/displayed is related to a problem with the – .htaccess – file.

I (like others) do not know what to do to make my site work (until the problem is resolved through a possible bug
I agree that there is something ‘not right’ but at least this works for me –

I did use the Permalinks –
Before doing the copy paste from Home Page to Post –

And yes – my ‘home page’ was actually my ‘Post’ – NOT the Home page that I had set up using the Filosofo Home-Page Control plugin.

And I went through the permalinks routine again After I did the copy paste –

The web site still functioned OK for my application.

Hope this helps! Chuck
