Hi, I Installed a wordpress in my host using a softacalous apps installer.When i use the site with default permalinks it is fine but when i change permalinks to custom /%category%/%postname%/ i get error in portfolio categories section check the link below www.netmadmonk.com I tried changing .htaccess no solution I want to test httpd.conf but i dont understand where to find it.
The problem is in the permalink address. Don't go yet to the tests.. You can proceed with installing the pluggins as you review the permalink.
If you are on shared hosting you don't have access to httpd.conf. But rewrite is working on your website, you have issues only when you change to /%category%/%postname%/? Maybe is a .htaccess issue, you tried the default .htaccess file?
Please paste your htaccess code here so I can take a look to see if anything stands out as its likely to be something not updating correctly when you change the setting in your wordpress admin. On that note, you could try changing the permissions on your htaccess file to 755 to make sure wordpress can write to the file in order to make the changes required!?
Check below .htaccess code # BEGIN WordPress IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress i want to find httpd.conf and change some settings i am unable to do it.
yes only when custom permalinks i want it friendly my .htaccess file # BEGIN WordPress IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
Your missing the < in the first line, change it to: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Code (markup): See if that works, if not, open a support ticket with your host and ask them to look into it for you as something is causing a conflict with the perm link options in your wordpress. You have been told, as you are on shared hosting you will not have access to make changes to httpd.conf Ask your host if they can make the changes to httpd.conf and make sure to tell them what the changes are for and why you need them, that way they should be happy to make the changes if needed!
You should be able to edit that yourself. The host should not be required. All you need is ftp or file access. Nigel
i mean i installed it using softcalous apps installer built the site but lastly when i change default to custom permalinks i get error page not found in portfolio section side links artworks works fine as it has same name as image below dont work. www.netmadmonk.com
Hold on a minute! Having just looked at your site, it might not have anything to do with your htaccess! Its only the sub-categories with "-" in the url which are not working, if you want to PM me your wordpress login details I will take a look for you as its likely to be something to do with how your wordpress is setup, or how you have named the sub-categories. I had a similar problem before, but can't remember what I changed without looking Another option to try (and try this first) is to change AllowOverride to all in httpd.conf, now if you don't have access to that, or your host refuses to make that change, tell them you want a full refund as their services can not work correctly as they are due to that setting killing the .htaccess file, and that you will be forced to change hosts due to this massive problem which is preventing your site from operating correctly!
Kindly read all of these: First thing first, you don't need to use httpd.conf as It is available only if you have ROOT ACCESS. You were using shared hosting so you don't have access to httpd.conf You can change permalink easily without problem by navigating to "Setting => Permalink" in WordPress. Every time you make change, make sure to click 'save' once more time so the permalink got updated in DataBase and WordPress core system. You have an error in your .htaccess file.Look the comment by System0AD above to fix it. Even a single code will make huge effects. http.conf cannot being accessed by FTP access. It only available when you have root access. You were going into wrong direction because there is no direct relation about httpd.conf and your permalink issue. If you get errors after changing permalink to Custom Type, Open your FTP program (Web FTP) and find 'errors.log' file. It usually available in root folder. Open it up and read the cause. Contact your webhost and find out what kind of server they were using. Each server has different treatment. Example, NginX+SuPHP and Apache combination have different effect than only use Apache. Relax a bit and read another previous post in this thread. Once again, httpd.conf isn't necessary at this time. Source: Self-experience. Edit: I remember the most important thing. Some theme were modified to use Default permalink and it could be the cause. Poor coded/Special theme may cause it. Tries to deactivate all plugins and use default theme and change permalink to custom type.
i said that they r ready to refund the money i cant afford vps at present it cheaper host i have.any other solutions regarding this problem please give me your email address you to send the wordpress details.
I will send you a PM for my email But I would bet its the AllowOverride problem in the httpd.conf that's causing the problem, so get ready to ask for the refund! And you don't need a vps, any quality host would have been happy to sort this for you, I would if you was one of my hosting customers!
