It’s actually got worse on my site now. The 404 pages don’t work with all unavailable links in the main body of the site now as well as not working in WordPress, this is very irritating.

Does anyone know of any hosting services to recommend? I notice someone mentioned Heart, any one else have any recommendations?

Hi,

I have solved some of our issues. I discovered that the problem with the older posts button was related to Permalink Redirect. I didn’t realise this plugin was still installed and removing it fixed the problem.

I know someone that has a pretty extensive coding knowlage that will look into the fasthosts 404 problem. I told them to post here if they find the answer. Fingers crossed.

I have spoken to Fasthosts a couple of times lately and they haven’t been to helpfull on this error. I have found people complaining about this issue in a couple of threads here. I have explained the extent of my issue which I think that others might be suffering from and not realise here.

Any insight on these issues would be most welcome. I’m more than willing to try stuff out if anyone has any ideas they want to experiment with. When i first installed my blog i’m pretty sure the error page was working however i didn’t really pay much attention until i realised that it was quite an issue, affecting more than just the 404 pages but the older posts permalinks as well. I hope someone can come up with a solution otherwise i’ll have to change host and that’s going to be a pain in the behind.

Hi,

Has anyone figured out a work arround for this issue yet? It seems that on my wordpress install it is worse than I first thought. I first noticed a problem when I went to set up custom error pages for my entire site, not just wordpress. I used the fasthosts control pannel to do this, but then all the permalinks to my blogs were broken. I eventualy found a work around by setting the custom 404 page to be managed by the .htaccess file rather than fasthosts control pannel.

Then a week or so later I have been getting annoyed with lots of long posts on the front page of our site lately and have set the max number to 3 posts, when I did this I realised that the older posts button doesn’t work at all. With our without the custom 404 page created by the .htaccess or using the fasthost method. I beleave that this is the same issue causing all of these problems however I’m far to limmited in my coding skills to work out how wordpress is using the permalinks, and I really don’t want to move host as I have just ironed out all the bugs in our instalation of PHP list (incidentaly the problems with this were also caused by the way fasthosts have set up their servers).
