Adding Pages Not Working?

  • I upgraded to 1.5 and was excited about the pages feature, but it doesn’t seem to work. I have friends with WordPress who can get it to work just fine.

    Basically, I go to Write Pages, make up some stuff to put there (tried making an about page), subimt, visit the URL (my_site/about), and it doesn’t work. Any ideas on what to do? Could it be my mod_rewrite settings?

  • What do I have to do? This is getting under my skin.

    I know if you put index.php in front of
    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    so it says
    /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    it works ok. But I don’t want to do that, because google doesn’t list me on there site very well like that

    so… how do I edit the http.conf?

    Unless you have a dedicated server or your host is willing you cannot edit http.conf.

    I am not able to create new pages and DO NOT HAVE A .htaccess file in my word press directory???? Where is this file located? Thank you.

    I’ve been experiencing the same problem, but it’s not limited to pages, but posts as well. The new posts show up on the index page, but the links for the posts result in 404. Pages always get 404 errors. I changed my .htaccess file to 766 to test that out, and it didn’t help. What else should I be looking at?

    I also tried the “apache” solution posted by podz in the “.htaccess not updating thread”. That didn’t fix the problem either.

    This probmlem still happens to me. I’ve changed the permissions to 666, to 766, to 777, all with Fetch, and still my new Page doesn’t appear… 404, 404, 404. I know the page host runs Apache – please help a newb with this. Thanks.

    I still can’t change anything with all this help.

    I finally found a fix that worked: changing the vars.php file in the wp-admin directory as instructed here in the codex:

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_Permalinks#Fixing_.28.htaccess.29_Generation_Issues

    I changed it via CPanel on my hosting page, not through the WP Admin > Manage > Files page, which still tells me If this file was writable you could edit it.
