Pages not displaying

None of your Permalinks are working.

Contact your host to make sure that you have mod_rewrite and AllowOverrides enabled and on. If that’s not it, check out the troubleshooting stuff at Permalinks and Using_Permalinks. ??

Thanks HandySolo,

I did not notice the need for an .htaccess file in my previous WordPress installations, so did not create one for this install.

For others who might encounter the same problem:

– create a text file .htaccess and FTP it to your WP directory

e.g. https://www.example.com/wp-directory/.htaccess

– you might have to create it first as “1.txt”, FTP it, then rename it to “.htaccess” (without the quotes)

– when you create your post & page using permalinks, WP creates the following entry in .htaccess:

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

# END WordPress

– that’s it!

Thanks again!
