FYI – Network Solutions does have mod_rewrite enabled. The issue where going to certain pages without index.php in the link has been resolved.

Permalinks are still presenting an issue in that the .htaccess file needs to be modified for Permalinks to work properly. Network Solutions is still investigating why the edit needs to occur but for those looking for a fix:

In the .htaccess file, replace the first “^” on each RewriteRule line with a “/”.

For example if you had:
RewriteRule ^categorias/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^categorias/(.+)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^archivos/author/([^/]+)/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^archivos/author/([^/]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^archivos/author/([^/]+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^archivos/author/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA,L]

Replace with:
RewriteRule /categorias/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /categorias/(.+)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /archivos/author/([^/]+)/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /archivos/author/([^/]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /archivos/author/([^/]+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /archivos/author/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA,L]

As an FYI, if you are using a Network Solutions hosting account, you can not specify the MySQL database as localhost. You have to go to where you created the MySQL Database in the Hosting Control Panel and get the IP address on that page and use that.

Good Luck

Through some investigation, there is a work around to make this work with Network Solutions hosting services.

The key is to replace the first “^” on each RewriteRule line with a “/”. For those familiar with regular expressions, I know this is not an optimal fix but should work for most people the majority of the time. Network Solutions is investigating further to look into what is happening that the “^” is not working.

For example if you had the following:
RewriteRule ^categorias/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^categorias/(.+)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^archivos/author/([^/]+)/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^archivos/author/([^/]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^archivos/author/([^/]+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^archivos/author/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA,L]

Simply change it to:
RewriteRule /categorias/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /categorias/(.+)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /archivos/author/([^/]+)/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /archivos/author/([^/]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /archivos/author/([^/]+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule /archivos/author/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA,L]
