I have Wordpress installation (Ver. 2.0.1) that's been giving me headaches the last few days. Here is what's happening: In the admin panel I have set the permalink options (OPTIONS --> PERMALINK --> ) to the "Date and name based" option in the options list. My URLS are re-written to look like this: /blog/wordpress/index.php/2006/05/14/sample-post/ All URLs seem to work OK despite the fact that wordpress does not update the .htaccess file in installation root: /wordpress/ -- the .htaccess remains blank even when CHMODED to 777. While the URLs seem to work fine the RSS FEED URLs generated for the MAIN FEED & COMMENTS are blank when viewed in a browser or a feed aggregator. Here is the feed format: /blog/wordpress/index.php/feed/ . The same format appears in the the automatically generated AUTO-DISCOVERY tags, meaning the search engines are essentially picking nothing. What heck is happening here? Any solutions ladies & gentlemen? Note: The default RSS feed URLs work fine: Main Feed: /blog/wordpress/?feed=rss2 Comments Feed: /blog/wordpress/?feed=comments-rss2
you can update .htaccess manually and have it chmodded 0664 or even 0644 to feel safer) -- wp tells you needs to be there
