Permalinks with postname and parent pages

  • Resolved Feydakin

    I just upgrade to version 3.3, all plugins are disabled and I reverted to the twenty eleven theme.

    My permalinks were originally set to %postname% in 3.2 and I have pages with parent pages.

    Author -> Book Title 1
    Author -> Book Title 2
    etc.

    Since the upgrade to 3.3 none of the subpages load. If I remove the parent and make them top level pages they work fine. They also work fine if I reset permalinks to the default setting.

    Permissions on HTACCESS are good since it lets me change the settings without an error message..

    Any thoughts about why only the subpages are affected?

    Pages aren’t affected by the permalinks, FWIW. Those affect posts only.

    Your page should be pagename/pagename as I understand it.

    Does domain.com/author work?

    Yes, anything root works fine.. For example

    .com/author works great
    .com/booktitle works great
    .com/author/booktitle returns a 404

    This only happens when a page is created with a parent page. Change the parent to none and it works fine.

    I flipped my test site to that and it works fine…

    How did you disable the plugins? Did you rename the folder to plugins-old?

    And what’s in your .htaccess?

    plugins renamed plugins-old – still not working.

    reset the theme to 

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

# END WordPress

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>

</Limit>
AuthName leapovercompetition.com
AuthUserFile /home/leapover/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/leapover/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

    I had commented out everything except the wordpress block to make sure that nothing else was messing with it..

    The site is here with the default theme – leapovercompetition.com

    After much strangeness I have figured out WHY it broke, but it makes no sense. In the end I changes the filename from author to writer. And now it works..

    So instead of /author/book title I have /writer/book title.

    I do not understand why the word author breaks the system, but it dies.. I was able to break it on three different domains..

    Why do I see this repeated here many times now?
