Links not working – permalink broken?

  • Hi All,

    About a year or so ago my site was hacked (TheArtoftheClimb.com)
    Since then we had a friend who was very knowledgable on WordPress fix it – kinda… The current state is the site kinda works but when you select a link to go to a post, an error message shows up – “The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.”

    If I go in as Admin, I can see that the posts are there and seem to look Okey. If I copy a permalink and paste that in to the URL of a browser, I get a message from the site that says “No Results Found”. So I suspect that somehow the permalinks are messed up.

    I just created a brand new post and I get the same resuts as above.

    So bottom line – I can get to all the posts as Admin, but a person who goes in as a regular person can’t see any of the posts…

    Any help would be apprecited.

    Thanks,
    -steve

  • Goto your settings->permalinks and click on the save button. This will reset your permalinks in your htaccess file. If that does not work, try renaming your htaccess file to .htaccess.tmp

    Also, check if you have plugins that are causing errors. You can do this by disabling all of them to see if the problem is fixed, then enable one at a time.

    Thanks for the advice, but it appears I may have a bigger problem. I do not have a “Settings” option in the navigation panel. I looked on-line at some sample screenshots and my screen looks quite a bit different. The sample screenshot had these links in the Navigation panel: Appearance, Plugins, Users, Tools, Settings, Profile. I only have 2: Profile and Tools. I do not have the others. I am logged in as Admin but I don’t seem to have the admin options for my site.

    Sounds like A. you are part of a network install with limited permission. B. Who ever created your wordpress may have removed these functions for you.

    Possible solutions:

    1. FTP into your hosting account and rename the “.htaccess” file to “.htaccess.tmp” This will remove the apache directives file temporarily to see if this is the problem.

    2. Contact the network administrator if you are on a WP Network install and ask them to help with trouble shooting or give you more permissions.
