    Permalinks issue after updating to 4.3

    I am running from a subdirectory and have been for months/years. All was working until after the WP 4.3 update.

    I have permalinks set to “post name”. Which again, has been working.

    My URL is: https://upstairsroom.net/2015

    The error occurs when any menu page is clicked (or manually typed). for example, “https://upstairsroom.net/2015/webdesign”

    If I set the permalinks to “default”, it works fine, but of course reads “https://upstairsroom.net/2015/?p=123” in the address bar instead of “https://upstairsroom.net/2015/webdesign”.

    This happens for all other sites I have installed in a subdirectory also, so it’s not just a one-time problem.

    I’ve tried several things, but nothing except changing the permalinks to “default” works, and that’s not acceptable.

    Any ideas?

    HAHA!.. I KNEW this would happen. I went back and retried editing the .htaccess file again and adding the “/2015” into the correct place, and this time it worked…..

    RewriteRule . /2015/index.php [L]

    Doesn’t answer why it happened in the first place though…

    I set the htaccess file to:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /2015/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    A page link works one time. Then when I check htaccess, it’s set back 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

    I’ve tried changing the permalinks a couple different ways and it only consistently works when it’s set to default.

    I’ve also tried
    RewriteBase /2015/
    and that only works once also.

    anybody have a suggestion for this?

    I’m back to running the default permalinks and wanna get this resolved.
