Link to page (eg ‘contact’) links to 404

More info would help, for instance: Using permalinks? Making the page in WP admin Write:Pages? New install/update of WP?

Good point, sorry.

I am using permalinks: https://strikdiploma.nl/%postname%/
Pages indeed made within the WP admin thingie.
WP version 2.0.3 which was upgraded from previous versions some time ago.

Did your .htaccess get updated? What’s it look like?

This is all that is in my .htaccess:

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

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.strikdiploma\.nl$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://strikdiploma\.nl/$1 [R=301,L]

Try commenting out those last three lines and re-uploading your .htaccess.

You can do that by putting a # before each line — it is the equivalent of deleting it, but means that you can restore it easily if you need to.

# RewriteEngine On
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.strikdiploma.nl$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ strikdiploma.nl/$1 [R=301,L]

No change. ??

Hmm, this is frustrating. As far as I know I have a pretty standard WP install, but still it doesnt work. I don’t suppose it can be anything in the theme I use, can it?

Just for grins…

Try setting your Permalinks back to default. Do links work now?

If so, Try setting your Permalinks to “Name and Date based.” Things still working?

When setting things back to default, it works without any problem. So why doesnt it work with my permalinks?

Have you tried the troubleshooting sections here: Permalinks?

In particular, have you confirmed your host has mod_rewrite *and* AllowOverrides on?

Would the permalinks as I have them right now (url/%postname%) work of mod_rewrite and AllowOverrides weren’t on? I’ll have a look at the troubleshootingthingie. ??

Thanks for thinking with me!

*edit*

Seems my host moved my website to another server.. This is the php-config: https://strikdiploma.nl/info.php I did not find AllowOverride in there. It should be in there, shouldn’t it?
