Pagination problem

If you’re running multisite and you change permalinks, unlike a single install it will not update the htaccess file for you.

That “no input file specified” error I usually see on Nginx servers. Do you know what kind of OS is on your webserver?

Hi Andrea,

Getting this direct from my GD panel…

OS/Hosting Type: Linux/Shared Hosting

with PHP 5.X if that matters.

Main reason I asked about the htaccess file being updated was because I was trying to clean it all out. I had to remove the Antispam code suggested by WordPress (and you I believe) because with it in people couldn’t comment about half the time. That was for known members too, not just new people.

Does the rest of the htaccess file look normal?

Thanks for the help.

Uh, no. you’ve got two chunks of wordpress-specific stuff in there AND a whole pile from supercache.

I have no clue how the two bits of WP code got in there, thought it looked very similar. How do I tell which is correct?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

That one or this one?

# BEGIN WordPress

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

# END WordPress

As for the Super Cache code, that is the exact code it loaded on its own. Is there not supposed to be that much?

I can’t seem to find the link back to the Antispam code. Is there any reason it would be causing people to not be able to comment on posts? People were getting page not found erros when clicking submit.

The first one is the multisite htaccess code so the blogs will show up.

the second one is single WP. Get rid of it.

When enabling the network, it states to *replace* the default htaccess rules, not add.

And it looks like you had an old WPMU .htaccess in there, which SHOULD still work but … Here’s the correct one, full and true, with your SuperCache stuff at the top. FYI, this is for a SUBfolder MultiSite. If you have subdomains, it’ll be a little different.

Thanks Andrea and ipstenu!

The bottom single WP one I put in there manually in an attempt to fix it. What was actually in there was missing a couple lines. I didn’t realize it was for single version.

I actually do have a subdomain setup. What is it that needs to be different?

Thanks again for the help.

Replace

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

With

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

Thanks for the quick response ipstenu! All the updated code is in now and seems to be working. Thanks.

So did anyone have any thoughts on how to fix the pagination problem?

It seems the only problem I have left is pagination in many places. Here is an example of what I am talking about.
https://extraordinaryintelligence.com/index.php?s=news

Scroll to the bottom and click Next Page.

Okay. Turn OFF pretty permalinks for that site.

It looks like your domain isn’t parsing them correctly.

Thanks again ipstenu.

I came across a new issue thanks to the spam sign ups I have been getting, but I am putting it in a new post since it is completely unrelated.

Well, turning off Pretty Permalinks isn’t a fix ?? It’s more of debugging. IF your site works with Ugly Permalinks, then you go back to your host and tell them ‘Hey, it’s not parsing .htaccess correctly!’ They can fix that.

Well GoDaddy ran some tests and they say everything is parsing correctly. They say the issue is with an incomplete header. They have sent me the information to fix it, but I haven’t gotten to that point yet.

Thanks again for all the help.

Yeah, I have gotten similar errors on GoDaddy-based sites before…. they even make the signup page render a 404 in the title bar & still generate the page.

After further review the info they sent explained how to change the file type. I don’t see how that is supposed to help anything. Whatever he checked in his test though changed the error I am getting.

Now when you go to
https://extraordinaryintelligence.com/index.php?s=news

Scroll down and click Next Page you get the following error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/content/b/l/o/blogamerica/html/page.php on line 1

The first line of page.php is of course the php code calling the header.

Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this evolving problem?
