Permalinks Custom Structor Error – with Customizable Permalinks Plugin Activated

  • My WP blog is hosted by Yahoo.

    I am trying to set the settings for permalinks to “custom structure”.

    But, I get the following error when I select custom sturcture:

    I had the Yahoo customizable perlinks plugin activated, removed it, installed Custom Permalinks Version 0.6.1 | By Michael Tyson, and still get the same error over and over.

    Warning: Selecting options or entering information on this page without activating the customizable permalinks plug-in may cause other links to break. If you have already activated customizable permalinks, you can ignore this message. To activate now, click

  • What version of wordpress are you running? on Yahoo?

    I would recommend you find another host, as Yahoo is notorious for being no good for wordpress.

    WordPress uses a file called .htaccess to give directives to the apache web server and on yahoo hosting you do not have direct access to this file.

    Permalinks are a pretty simple affair – requiring maybe 4-5 short lines of code, and they use an Apache module known as “mod_rewrite” to rewrite permalink structures.

    Without access to this file on your host, it is doubtful that this problem can be fixed effectively.

    I know it’s discouraging news, but check this out:

    If you are the same person in Boise who is posting the ad, I can help you sort it out, it may require a call to yahoo tech support, but probably easier and more painless to bypass the whole thing and go with a decent host, which I can easily recommend, and is probably more inexpensive that what you are paying now.

    Very easy to set up and load all of your content into a new wordpress, nothing is lost and you get a more stable system in return.

    Hi PSPerkins-

    I am in Boise and would be happy to pay you a consulting fee to help me sort this out. This blog is a sub-domain of my yahoo store at https://www.buncogameshop.com and part of my store SEO efforts, so I don’t want to move to another host.

    Yahoo tech support is available 24-7, but my calls on this issue haven’t resulted in a fix yet. It all depends on asking the right questions (I don’t have knowledge of the .htaccess file and how to change it) and connecting with the right tech.

    Can I contact you for consulting? Fell free to contact me at [email moderated]. I am running WP 3.1.1.

    Thank you for your help – it is appreciated!
