Google showed me the answer to the 403 issue (.htaccess) so I changed it to index.php within the WP folder and everything works. I guess you just can’t rename your blog page anything but index.php?

I think I have discovered the culprit. I had wanted my blog to be named blog.php (for now) in another directory (the WP files being in wp/) except this was adding /blog.php/ to my dashboard links.

So I can just set it up at wp/index.php except when I go into my dashboard options and try to change it back to index.php, I am directed to another 403 error. What’s going on?

I’m suspecting this has to do with the .htaccess which I’m having some issues with.

If I use the custom permalinks I want, it tells me it can’t edit my .htaccess even though the permissions are set correctly and it does exist. I’m not entirely sure which directory the file should go in and I see comments saying it should be in either the root directory “/” or the wp root directory “wp/” and even some that say it should be in “wp-admin” so I’ve tried it everywhere.

I also cannot access it from the files manager because it apparently doesn’t exist (it does).

So I try to edit it via FTP; however, when I do this, I cannot access my site. I get a 403 error.

Still, when I use default permalinks and there’s nothing to add to the .htaccess, the link directs to the blog.

A little more info..

I’ve cleared my cache and tried another browser so it’s not that. Also, if I manually change the default theme, it works fine.

It seems that if I change the theme on the site via the switcher and then click the ‘home’ link to index.php, it then switches and remains. Why isn’t it doing it automatically?

Ha! At least I wasn’t able to import from old blogger so it’s not like I lost anything.

Okay. Let’s try something new..
Obviously there’s some sort of error going on and the post just isn’t showing but is there a setting I can change so I get an error message instead or does this not work that way?

Still having this problem – and have run out of ideas.

I’ve made some progress. After reading some posts, I turned off WYSIWYG. I still can’t view the post by itself but I put all but the first 2 lists behind a the “More” tag and I can view the the entry with the More link on any page, though it takes an incredibly long time to load. Of course, when I click the link, the rest of the entry doesn’t show up.

Okay, played around a bit I found out it was actually one of my posts playing up. I have a series of nested lists and, for some reason, I can only display 2. Once I add the 3rd, the post won’t show up thus any page it would be displayed on just.. ends abruptly. I edited it so there are only 2 lists now but I cannot think of any reason this should occur. The lists are coded properly and it doesn’t matter which list I add in – once there are 3, it stops working!

Hmm, also it does the same thing at the same place if you view archives by year (https://7and1.net/blog.php/2005/page/13/)
What am I missing?

Ah. After a bit of translating at the writer’s website I udnerstand the issue, whihc jwurster was trying to get at. Simply make sure your permissions are set by CHMODing the wp-content folder to 777.

Ah, yes.. but I cannot even get to that point because of the errors.

Hmm… like how sometimes you’ll see the category list and it’ll show how many entries are in each category.. For instance.

Me (56) or something..

but sometimes it isn’t there

Okay, a bit of an update. I dived backed into the codex and have successfully moved my archives and categories links to separate pages each.

I am still curious about what part of the code/tag causes the (#) to appear or not appear next to the category link.

My archives page is set up yearly but I’d still like to be able to have it where when a vistior clicks the yearly link, the monthly menu is then brought up – either on a new page of via a collapasble menu – and from there the visitor clicks to see all the monelthy entries. As it is now, when a visitor clicks the year link, all entries from the year are brought up and that’s just too much.

I am curious about this myself
