Permalinks on Windows 2008 R2 after site move

  • Hi,

    Firstly, I want to state that permalinks were working on my WordPress installations. However, after some messing around moving between folders (basically from /wordpress to /), I can only get my site working properly if I use default permalinks. Setting it to anything else causes a 404 error.

    After setting to month & name Permalinks, the hyperlink on the page shows (when hovering) as https://complain-to-bt.co.uk/wordpress/?page_id=12. Yet when clicked, the URL in the address bar shows as https://complain-to-bt.co.uk/the-complaint/the-home-move-before-during-and-after/.

    Any suggestions please? I do not know if it is relevant, but in general settings, I have the following:

    WordPress address (URL): https://complain-to-bt.co.uk/wordpress
    Site address (URL): https://complain-to-bt.co.uk

    Apart from index.php & wp-config.php, the rest of the WordPress site resides in the /wordpress folder.

    I have left the website on default permalinks for now, so that it continues to operate properly, but wish to use WP Supercache, so need permalinks working. The performance of the site is not great yet, and I do not suspect that WP Supercache will sort that out, but just trying to deal with obvious things as I go.

    Thanks

    John
