I'm getting owned by WordPress >.>

First off, I am a first time user of wordpress.
www.WatchTheBoondocks.com

I can make pages and posts and all, but when I click on smoething generated by wordpress (comments, tags, post a comment, pages, etc), it takes me to a 404 page.

Willing to let go $1 (all i had left after domain >.>) to anyone that can help me.

 

This is becuase your using the SEO url rewrite. I never got to get work myself...
Search on google for some tutorials on setting it up properly.

 

Remove that plugin mate.
Use this one. http://www.deanlee.cn/wordpress/permalinks-migration-plugin/

 

Hrm, I am getting the same problem after deactivating the plugin. Do yall suggest i reupload the site?

 

Which host are you using ....... .htaccess give problems with some!!

 

im using a private host (dedicated server with direct admin)

 

login to WP admin.. the go to "options" then "permanent links" under "Common options:" click on "Custom, specify below " and then add "/%postname%/" to the input box, without the "" right, and then click "Update Permalink Structure"
And then edit your .htaccess file in your server and add this piece of code

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

And thats all!!! you get the best seo urls for wordpress.

Hope it helps.

 

wewt it works!
if you stil lwant the paypal, just pm me ur email and ill send right away

 

Working great at my end now my friend...

 

:-D thats great

 

nice. that is the default .htaccess set of wordpress actually.
welcome to wp dude. it's a good software. the best i know actually.

 

The new version of wordpress will update the .htaccess automagically; just upload a blank file called .htaccess and chmod to 777 ; then you can stop worrying about it, wordpress will do it by itself

 

thanks, any idea when the new version comes out?

 

I was looking for something like that myself. Thanks

 

It's the current one, 2.3.1, it's working perfectly and updating by itself on my website (www.gpearce.co.uk) right now, i didn't touch the .htaccess file in that respect, wordpress did it all for me

 

i had to manually create a .htaccess with WP
