Archives Not Working At All

Ok wait… my entire permalinks are not working.

That’s because (for some reason) WP2.0 does not create .htaccess. Solution: just upload a blank .htaccess file with the proper rights (666) and update the permalink structure.

this did not work for me

I had to manually hack an .htaccess file…

This function is still not working but you can at least get access to most pages now.

What permalink structure did you use? Are you on a Linux-based server or a Windows-based server? Does your hosting provider support the use of mod_rewrite?

   “I had to manually hack an .htaccess file…”

Explain more about what you did. Have you disabled permanlinks altogether? have you superseded the rules defined for WP 1.5? Have you resolved the problem yet?

I am on a linux server and the permalink update structure worked perfect on previous installations of wordpress.

The situation has not been resolved in that wordpress 2.0 cannot create the correct permalink structure.

I created an .htaccess file manually to hold me over until there is a fix. I did this by copying another .htaccess file from another blog running 1.5.2 and changing the file structure to suit the blog who’s .htaccess file is not working.

Apologies for the double post the forum server keeps timing out from my end.

This is the output from WordPress 2.0:

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