All links going to home page

  • I have a new install of wordpress I installed it months ago and it was working fine.
    I just went back to do some work on it today and none of the links work, they now all go to the home page. I have not changed anything on the site or on the server since then.
    The only thing that works is the default permalinks.

    its running on Windows/IIS6 with Isapi Rewrite
    my rewrite rule is as follows, which worked fine until now.

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]

    I tried switching the twenty ten theme
    disabled all plugins (I only installed akismet)
    I updated to wordpress 3.0.4
    no change

    anyone got ay idea why this would just stop working for no reason ?

    anyone ?
    I would have thought the wordpress forums was the best place to post WordPress questions, but if there is somewhere better please do let me know.

    do you have a redirect plugin? if so, deactivate it and test

    No I do not have a redirect plugin, I did state in my original post above that I only have the akismet plugin installed.

    have you deleted the .htaccess entirely and regenerated it?

    I don’t know how to get wordpress to re-generate it, but I have deleted, re-created and pasted back in my rules yes.

    anyone got a clue ?

    is there a better place I can post this question with wordpress experts ?

    I am having the same issue and i am new to wordpress. I thought wordpress was a bit more user friendly then this.

    I had the same problem after moving to a new server. Somehow, the closing / got dropped off the permalink option (from the dashboard go to Settings/Permalinks/Custom Structure).

    If you are using custom permalinks, make sure there is an open and closing forward slash (e.g. /%category%/%postname%/)

    Richbros, I actually found and blogged that problem when I first installed wordpress, it stops the parmalinks working on IIS.
    In this case it was not the solution. I had to reinstall wordpress on a different server.
