Blog posts are HTTP Error 404 after upgrade

  • Hi
    I just updated my blog from 2.6.2 to 3.0.1. The admin interface seems to be working, the Index page looks fine, but all single plog posts and pages shows up like a HTTP Error 404 in the browser. I’m using all in seo pack and deans permalink migration for pretty permalinks. Anyone have any suggestions, please help, sort of panicking here… The site is https://denimfashionista.se
    Thanks!

  • I get exactly the same thing. I have upgraded to 3.0 successfully, but my new blog which is in a subdirectory does not work. If I go to ‘Super Admin’ and go to Backend or Browse I get 404 errors. The original blog still works. I have a suspicion it is something to do with the fact that my blog is hosted on Windows and not Linux, but I’m not sure.

    First step is ALWAYS to turn off plugins. All of them. Then try and re-set your permalinks (just go in and click ‘save’) and see if that helps.

    mikedorey, make a new post in the MultiSite area for yours, will you? Different issue ?? https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/multisite

    Ipstenu,
    thanks for your reply.
    I turned off all the plugins before upgrading. I turned them on one by one to see of they where causing the problem, but nothing. I saved the parmalinks settings too; nothing.
    Any more suggestions anyone?

    I turned off all the plugins before upgrading.

    So … when you had all plugins OFF, did you have this issue? That is, right after you upgraded you had NO plugins on, correct? Did it work then?

    Right, I had no plugins running when I upgraded or directly after, but the problem was there then, from the start. When I first saw that, I thought it might be the plugins that was needed, but it didn’t help to put them on.

    Okay, turn ’em back off ??

    What’s in your .htaccess?

    ??
    My .htaccess file is empty, I made the permalinks through a 404handler.php page, since I’m running IIS on windows. Seems like it’s not working anymore.

    Turn off pretty permalinks for a test. See if the internally generated wordPress URLs work okay.

    Sorry for this delay. I did as you suggested, and I also totally uninstalled the permalink-plugin, and, phew, they are there! Now it’s just a matter of getting those permalinks pretty. I’m getting the index.php/%postname%/ but my posts are indexed as /%postname%/ only. I guess I’m out of the search engines soon if I don’t sort this out.

    You can keep index.php, it won’t affect things poorly. Your host may require that in there, sadly ?? Some do (IIRC Yahoo does).
