WP Help

Im confused -

I have my blog setup - I renamed my permalinks -

/%postname%/

My htaccess looks like this

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-content.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-admin.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-include.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress



When I post - you cannot click on any of the titles - When you click on any link for that matter - it all times out - goes to google and says cannot find page.

Whats wrong?

 

1) A link would be helpful so we can see the problem. We might see something that you may have missed.

2) I have never seen these lines within a wp install:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-content.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-admin.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-include.*

Code (markup):

Why are they in there? (edit: Some quick google'ing shows this to be an incomplete method of securing wp and additional code is missing.) Does the site function with those extra lines removed?

3) Anything in your webserver's error logs?

 

Bascially - http://santx.com -

Click on any links - internal wise. It appears the mod rewrite isnt working. The code you see above is the same code WP gives you to update manually your htaccess when you change your permalinks.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-content.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-admin.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-include.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Anything else I can look @

 

Urggh... I hate asking for help -

Ok, I have my index.php file set up as such -

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

In the general tab - i changed - blog directory to site name / wordpress. Where Blog address is my URL to my site ( root )

The only 2 files I have in my root folder is the htaccess and then the index.php -

Now nothing works. I can get to the admin login, but it times out.

 

your word press has gone because config.php must be in root..................so...........don't waste your time download a new version of wp and upload it there.....................and make .htaccess properties....as 777..........then auto update your .htaccess.................it will work fine

 

Yup, read the bold text at the top of that:

You may have missed that. If you;re running something less than version 2.0 (Current is 2.9.1 I believe) you are in serious need of an upgrade.

To change permalinks, all you do is modify what's in your Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalink. Please return the .htaccess file to what it was which should be this:

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

Code (markup):

Please be sure to red rep webservices4india and kofadije if you would. webservices4india's solution to everything is reinstall and he's caused a number of problems in other threads.
