Permalink and Website Intergration – loop no longer working

Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server and that your WordPress root .htaccess file is being updated correctly.

I’m having the same problem, I already checked the .htaccess file and I manage to make the site working but the admin only works if i delete the .htaccess file, when I do it the pages can’t be found. Could anyone tell me a way to fix it and make sure both works,

Thanks

Hi thanks for you advice esmi, mod_rewrite is working on the server as far as I can see the htaccess file is updating. Not sure if I explained the problem correctly.

Our main website is https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk and our blog is located at https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk/blog/

Our news and events pages pull articles directly from the blog. On the blog there a category for news and a category for events (plus others.
our news page can be found here https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk/news.php

The news page incude any article that is found in the news category (category 3) if Permalink is running on the default settings the url for the category is as follows https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk/blog/?cat=3 however if i set permalink to say https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk/blog/news/ the pagesz then tell me there no posts matching my criteria

The code I am using on the php pages is as follows

<?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=3'); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

 <div class="post">

 <!-- Display the Title as a link to the Post's permalink. -->
 <h4><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>

 <!-- Display the date (November 16th, 2009 format) and a link to other posts by this posts author. -->
 <small>Posted <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author_posts_link() ?></small>

  <div class="entry">
    <?php the_content(); ?>
  </div>
	 <hr></hr>
<p></p>
 </div> <!-- closes the first div box -->

 <?php endwhile; else: ?>
 <p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
 <?php endif; ?>

If I turn on permalinks and set it to use something other than default do I need to change this line of code

<?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=3'); ?>

Thanks
Damien

You shouldn’t have to change a query because of a change in permalinks. WordPress handles all of that internally. Is there an .htaccess file in your root domain folder? If so, what’s in that?

HI I am running my hosting on cpanel.

I have my main domain https://www.damiensplace.co.uk

then I have added my other domains such as https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk which is running on a subdomain.

My main site for plymouthcathsoc.org.uk is found in the root of this “sub-domain” there is the a folder for all the blog pages, /blog/
Mainsite – https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk
|
*-blog Folder – https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk/blog/

.htaccess in the main domains https://www.damiensplace.co.uk

Is this a multisite install?

no, least don’t think so

https://www.damiensplace.co.uk is the main domain on the account wordpress is running on there but tis got its own files and it own data base

https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk is perdomantly a html site, with only pages need to be interactive witen in php. it all hard coded exceot for the above code when it pulls articles from the blog

https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk/blog/ has its own worpress files and database

the two blogs should not be sharing anything though they do have the same apps installed on each

6thanks

What permalink structure are you using on https://www.plymouthcathsoc.org.uk/blog/

none, if I use any then the querry code on the main plymouthcathsoc.org.uk website stops working

Can you remove the .htaccess file on the main plymouthcathsoc.org.uk website?

Hi I have removed it from the plymouth cathsoc site, then went at set my permalink to postname and check to see if the querry was working and it was not, back to saying no post to disaply

Was the .htaccess file on blog updated correctly?
