How do I reset my Permalinks settings through FTP

Delete the .htaccess file and login, go to permalinks and save them again. That’ll do it. If not, let us know.

No doesnt do it. Using GoDaddy something up with that .htaccess it was never generated to begin with. I made a htaccess but it never did anything either.

I think I’m gonna reinstall word press for the 8th time, not touch anything. lol this is starting to annoy me!!!

I have to work quick not sure how much time i got left till the domain is transfered and have to wait like 4-7 days

Sorry to hear your troubles and frustrations. Usually it’s straight forward. WordPress always uses the .htaccess file, no matter if its GoDaddy or not. Very strange. Did you use the very basics of WordPress .htaccess structure when you created it?

Yes here is what my .htaccess looks like.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

GoDaddy is real screwy, because I can’t even control the site php.ini.
I found a diffrence though when i used wp-config.php. That actually work the wp-config.php for ram adjustments. But other then that .htaccess and php.ini does not want to be used. I seen tons and tons of fixes just doing that. But I’ve upgraded to the top hosting plan with godaddy so lets see if the new install will actually complete without failing! I believe it will

It’s been running alot better after upgrade. Again I’m spending more time in research for this issue then actually doing. So I’ll give GoDaddy a complaint and contact WordPress and see what they have to say. And reinstall.

@CureWP cuase I always thought that maybe because I’d get a 500 Error on install that it could be causing some of the issues. I just started a new install it went through and faster! I guess you need ultimate hosting to do anything with GoDaddy.

Wow ok Plesk is .user.ini instead of php.ini and I wonder if .htaccess is diffrent

WordPress is very resource driven …. Not that much but maybe, just maybe not all lower plans will support WordPress.

We use Plesk with other special configs and first I hear in regards to user.ini. However .htaccess wouldn’t be any different though. PHP configuration can be different but not files apache understands. Just like Nginx server won’t understand Apache. Currently using Plesk, you need to make sure you are putting .htaccess within the same directory as wp-config.php.

If you are getting errors, you can force higher PHP memory allowance through .htaccess as well and wp-config.php

Keep us posted on progress.

So .user.ini extending ram wont change performance only .htaccess, cause if I research it correctly adding more memory to .user.ini just gives PHP more to work off of. But yet again thats akk WP runs off of.

If you have access to error.log file post the latest entries to here so we can debug.

Also if you completely delete the .htaccess file and try going to the permalinks lave dk you still get the error?

Were is the error log?

This things on and off its fast then its not fast. Is it because my URL is in the middle of transferring?
