Permalinks Settings gives no option

  • I recently downloaded and installed wordpress and when I go to the permalinks settings I get the message…

    By default WordPress uses web URLs which have question marks and lots of numbers in them, however WordPress offers you the ability to create a custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives. This can improve the aesthetics, usability, and forward-compatibility of your links. A number of tags are available, and here are some examples to get you started.

    So I uploaded a .htaccess file and had no change. I fixed the permissions and still nothing. Some edits I made caused the permalinks setting screen to go blank completely. I use crazydomains.com.au as my host and I think they have caused this problem somehow. Can anyone advise what I can do to fix this?

  • Whatever changes you did to give you that white page, undo those changes, then put the following code into your .htaccess:

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

# END WordPress

    Once that is done you can save your permalinks again.

    Hi there I’m having the same problem I think see my post https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/no-permalinks-options-appearing?replies=5#post-1647399

    I am using Crazy Domains to host as well. Did you manage to solve the problem budinsky??

    I have NO idea about this stuff but in FileZilla (my FTP client) I have tracked down the .htaccess file (already in existence but entirely blank inside). I pasted the code suggested by bh_WP_fan and changed my permissions to RW for Owner, Group and Public (666). I saved the file, uploaded and closed FileZilla, then refreshed the Settings>Permalinks page. Still nothing appearing at all.

    I’ve located an options-permalink.php file in wp-admin which I suspect may be involved but I wouldn’t have a clue what to do and don’t want to muck anything up!

    If you got this sorted I’d LOVE to know! Am going crazy!

    Hi just to follow up on my post above, I got this issue resolved by contacting my host https://www.crazydomains.com.au. They said they had to enable mod_rewrite access so it seems the problem came from their settings. They also said:

    ” On your server we had disabled SQlite extensions.

    So I created php.ini file in ‘wp-admin’ folder to enable pdo_sqlite.so.

    Using :

    Extension=pdo_sqlite.so”

    This means nothing to me but I am posting it in case someone else has the same issue and it means something to them!

    Cheers

    Further to the above issue, apparently there is a compatability issue with crazydomains.com.au’s servers and the Fantastico WordPress install. Unless and until they can resolve it, every WordPress install will need the fix to allow you to see the permalinks options.

    The fix is even simpler than indicated above – it’s simply a matter of creating a php.ini file. I.E. a new, blank file.

    The tech support guy created mine in the www\wp-admin\ directory, which you can easily access via an FTP client.

    Not sure if this applies to anything other than the specific problem with crazydomains.com.au though…

    Cheers.
