Used to work. Now it is broken and Plugin Author does not acknowledge the problem. I get the same error as navi21 even though the ads and widget are configured properly. Even after deleting the plugin and clearing cache, the code is still there. Be careful: if you install it and it doesn’t work you may be stuck with it!

I had the same problem. I changed the filename for .htaccess to .htacess_old. This forces a new .htaccess file which should immediately resolve your problem

Mike,

I did get the problem resolved. I had been using a plugin called “Custom Post Type Permalinks” which had been working for me until the upgrade. I removed the plugin and reinstalled it (even though it has not been tested with the current version of WP). Once activated, I went to Settings=>Permalinks and edited the default settings for custom post type permalinks. I also discovered that after the WP upgrade the category settings for custom posts had been stripped. Specifically, the checkbox for the parent category had been toggled off, leaving only the child category selected. This resulted in 404 errors for custom posts because the permalinks didn’t match the slugs. To remedy this, I had to reselect the parent category for each child post in the post editor.

Hope this helps!

UPDATE: ISSUE RESOLVED

I added a plugin called “Custom Post Type Permalinks” that fixed the problem. Thanks goodness for this wonderful plugin!

Krishna: Thanks for the reply. I’m referring to the links ON the two pages, not the links I provided TO the pages. For example, on the “Restaurants” page, if I click “Alison’s Restaurant” the link opens the homepage (https://dunwoodynow.com) instead of https://dunwoodynow.com/restaurants/alisons-restaurant.htm

When I edit the entry for each restaurant, I see that the permalink for every one has been changed to “https://dunwoodynow.com”

I don’t know what happened to change all the permalinks or how to fix them. The permalink settings are currently set on “Post name”. I tried changing the setting to “Custom Structure” (/%postname%/) but when I click “Save Changes” it goes right back to “Post name”

Thanks for the suggestion vtxyzzy. That would probably solve my problem on the news blog but I still need a way to display deals by category. If I create a custom field, is there a way to execute a shortcode to show posts that have the value of the custom field?
