Just as an update:

The problem turned out to be errors in the wp-rss files in the /includes folder (this was confirmed by my webhost who showed me the log files.

To correct the error, all I did was re-upload all the rss files into the /includes folder and hey presto; it all works again!

Not sure how this happened…however, I have a suspicion it was the ‘Sexy Bookmarks’ plugin as this was the only thing we installed and since the problem began!

Ok…thanks, Roy – will give that a try later.

Just to check – re-upload everything, except: WP-CONFIG and the WP-Contents folder?

Will this replace the files I made changes to when removing the RSS feed links from the header?

Cheers for your help!

To be honest, I don’t know?!? I thought about just replacing all the files but didn’t know if that could result in more problems (I have since made changes to the header to remove all references to the RSS feeds). So I’d need to go back and correct all those changes, wouldn’t I?

anyone?

if you had to delete 10 posts then there is something wrong as I can promise there should only have been 2…anyway…

It’s not the permalinks I have a problem with? I have a problem with pages that don’t exist not delivering a 404 status like they’re supposed to. I tried changing my theme to the default wp one and it still doesn’t work.

moshu – i haven’t posted 10 topics – there was only this and 1 about changing the post structure which isn’t the same topic.

with regards to creating a 404.php – there is one there but it just doesn’t seem to work unless I stop using the htaccess file.

*BUMP*

iridiax,

I have been using this structure for a long time – what can I do now – I have 100+ pages all indexed in Google using this structure!?

To give people some more information:

Permalink structure set within WordPress admin panel is: /%postname%/

htaccess file looks like:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

When I remove the htaccess file, the 404 works as it should but obviously my blog links do not work…

When I put the htaccess file back, all links are fine but when you type in a page that doesn’t exist, I just get a blank page (no 404 header or anything as I should).

Would love to hear from someone who can help.

as another update – if i remove the htaccess file that comes as standard with WordPress the 404 header works but obviously I need the htaccess file back for my posts to load etc?!?

The permalink structire I use is /%postname%/

Has anyone got any ideas?

I have made a couple of changes and now, instead of showing part of my footer i get a page can’t be displayed error – still no 404!?!?!?

anyone?

I tried the plugin and got the following error:
Warning: ftp_chdir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/fhlinux208/t/mysite.com/user/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_prelimcheck.class.php on line 397

i just replaced the config.php file with an older version from a previous backup and it worked fine – thank god for backups…

cheers for the replies

still no luck – same error message – tried uploading the files 3 times now…
