OMG….. its working.. i tried disabling all plugins one more time… and it worked.. it was the top level category plugin that was ruining everything… omg!!! I”M SO HAPPPPPPY!

Luke,

I am not one to plunder around in my functions php file. I look at your examples on your site and while I can copy and paste with the best of them i truly have no idea where exactly to insert this code. am i deleting other code? do i just open functions php and stick it at the top? doesn’t seem so. You have so much…(forgive me) advertising in the code.. that.. i can hardly figure out where the real meat comes from.

How do i revert back to before it was broken???

Thank you Luke. I just wish they’d fix it.. like now.. not in version 3.2. I HOPE that they are working on it day and night to get this resolved. This is a BIG DEAL to a lot of people! I’ve lost 800 percent of my traffic.

I thank you for bringing it to my attention that this bug is real and big and am in hopes they are working on it very hard.

Okay, after a few days in Daytona Beach to hopefully see the Endeavor blast off… Mission scrubbed.. ?? I’m back at this issue. I’ve checked and repaired my sql database and still.. sigh.. NO change.
This is killin me… Anybody still out there who might be able to help?

Nope.. no WP E-commerce…
and NO resolution.

It is definitely writing to the htaccess file. I now have the same string as i did above. and found the backtick..lol

# 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

,
# 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,
This is in the .htaccess-bak file that must have been previously created. the .htaccess file now says only
#Begin wordpress and #end wordpress.

sigh.. no change

Hah.. just changed it back to default again because the catagories dont work now.. 404 error on all posts within category with the /%postname/ structure.

Well the server I’m on is shared not dedicated. But, never had issues I can only see the one htaccess file except for the ones i renamed htaccessold during the start of this mess. It never occurred to me that post name was a bad thing but after reading the above documentation i see now . None of the permalink provided work, except the default one. the site had been on this server since October 2010 and worked fine until i upgraded to 3.1.1. Now I’ve updated to 3.1.2.

/%post_id%/%postname%/
Does not work.. getting 404 error message… I guess my jubilation was premature ??

Just a word to let everyone know this issue is resolved. I contacted my host.. Hostgator.. again. I got a tech very familiar with wordpress. He changed my permalink to post name.. and it worked. it seemed that the “month,numb was causing some kind of issue. So while it wasn’t a hosting problem with apache mod_rewrite, my knowledgeable host was able to fix the problem

Thanks to all for their imput, specially esmi! Beclecto.com is back in business!

esmi,

this morning i updated to the new 3.1.2 version. I tried disabling plugins and no change. I deleted htaccess again changed the permalink structure to the custome month day i wanted. I checked the htaccess file and was thrilled to find “more” in there.
‘# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress’

Tried to click on an article and … same old 404 message. I’m so frustrated.

If you are still out there please help!

could it be some corruption of index.php?

OH Wow… well i don’t know what all makes that happen, but obviously my file is not being written properly. We now have a new (2and) poster claiming same problem. Are you helping others with similar issues? Should the wordpress folk be contacted? how is that accomplished? and how are you with joomla? ??
