Pretty Permalinks causes 404 if set to %postname%

  • Hello everyone,

    I’m having an issue with my wordpress Site. Since Im-not-quite-sure-but-maybe-tuesday-when-I-updated-wordpress-to-3.8.3 my permalinks are broken if set to /%postname%/.
    This means that setting it to any other function, say the standard option, or something like /Archive/%post_id% will work fine and won’t cause any trouble at all.
    But switching it to /%postname%/ which was my setting hithero, will cause a pretty 404 error when trying to access any site (Blog posts are fine, apperently).

    What I tried this far:
    – visit the permalinks panel to flush caches and stuff
    – empty the permalink-array via phpmyadmin in wp_options table
    – disable all plugins
    – update all plugins and WordPress
    – shout incoherently at my Computer

    this far nothing worked, and I am forced to set my permalink settings to /Archive/%post_id%, because the site has to be accessable.

    Can anyone help me?

    What’s in your .htaccess file?

    My .htaccess file says

    # 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

    I think this is what should be there, I erased it and let WordPress generate it again to no avail
