Thank you!
I made the mistake of entering the wrong URL in the ‘WordPress address (URL)’ and the ‘Blog address (URL)’ setting, and suddenly couldn’t get into the admin, the site was down, etc. Panic. Thanks for your info, however, I didn’t see home, though once I changed siteURL, I was able to access the admin, and make the ‘blog URL’ change. Back in business. (using v 2.9.2)

Hi, I am having a similar problem with some (internal) links and the visual vs. html editor.
I have pasted some HTML code into the html editor. I update the page and all is well. I go back to the editor, and switch to the visual editor – even if I don’t make any changes to the content – then go back to the HTML editor, and some of the html code is missing, namely:

<h5><a name="deals" class="insideLink">Deals:</a></h5>

turns into this:

<h5><a name="deals"></a></h5>

So, the class="internalLink" has been removed, and the content between the tags is gone! It also seems to remove any <p> paragraph tags elsewhere in the content… which is fine, as it still seems to work ok.

Has anyone else come across this issue?? Any help appreciated…

I did find this in later research (https://faq.wordpress.net/view.php?p=20):

“…try adding the following line at the top (the very first line) of .htaccess :”

Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

Or

Options +FollowSymLinks

This did resolve my probelm, at least, so far, but I don’t know why or what caused the problem in the first place.

Was there any resolution to this problem? I am having the same issue (WP ver2.9.2 on my local OSX machine): after turning on Pretty PermaLinks and adding the changes to the htaccess file (located in the root directory), I get a 403 error – “You don’t have permission to access …/wordpress/ on this server”. When I open the htaccess file and comment out the line “RewriteEngine On”, I can see the site again. Or if I revert back to default links, I can see the site again.

This is all that’s in my htaccess file:

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

Is anyone out there that knows anything about this? I would be eternally grateful!!
