Okay, thank you.

Actually, I was wrong about the default theme working. It turns out that the broken URL is fine when you navigate there from the admin page. But when I navigate to https://www.sep.com/pmblog from https://www.sep.com/blogs or just type in the URL, then the “Older Entries” URL is incorrect regardless of the theme I use. Strange that it works fine when I navigate from the admin page.

How do I find out how my navigation links are being generated? The only file in my theme folder I could see that involved the “Older Entries” link was index.php and all that did was use a method from link.template to get the url. It seems like wordpress generates the url and my theme just gets it from wordpress.

Is it possible that I have an IIS 7 URL Rewrite problem?

To answer your questions:
I have tried the default theme and the problem does go away, but I don’t understand how to find the problem within my own theme as far as what files actually could cause this problem.

The only permalink option that works is the default, the other ones also add on the blog user name to the url and goes to the wrong page.

I checked the Site URL and it is https://www.sep.com/pmblog/ which is what I want.

Thanks for your continued help with this.

That code was in place of:
$request = ( ( !empty( $request ) ) ? trailingslashit( $request ) : $request ) . user_trailingslashit( ‘page/’ . $pagenum, ‘paged’ );

I tried the following solution and it appears to have fixed my problem without breaking anything:

In the link-template.php file, I found the function get_pagenum_link() that was supplying the incorrect url. I added a check to see if the blog username was being repeated:

$pos = strpos( $base, $request );

if ( !($pos === false) ) {
$request = user_trailingslashit( ‘page/’ . $pagenum, ‘paged’ );
} else {
$request = ( ( !empty( $request ) ) ? trailingslashit( $request ) : $request ) . user_trailingslashit( ‘page/’ . $pagenum, ‘paged’ );
}

This code is in place of:
$request = ( ( !empty( $request ) ) ? trailingslashit( $request ) : $request ) . user_trailingslashit( ‘page/’ . $pagenum, ‘paged’ );

I hope this helps!

I reset my permalinks to default and that did take care of the problem so what I ended up doing to have both my custom permalink and solve the problem is the following:

In the link-template.php file, I found the function get_pagenum_link() that was supplying the incorrect url. I added a check to see if the blog username was being repeated:

$pos = strpos( $base, $request );

if ( !($pos === false) ) {
$request = user_trailingslashit( ‘page/’ . $pagenum, ‘paged’ );
} else {
$request = ( ( !empty( $request ) ) ? trailingslashit( $request ) : $request ) . user_trailingslashit( ‘page/’ . $pagenum, ‘paged’ );
}

This appears to have solved my problem without breaking anything else and I still get my custom permalink.

Thank you for the response and please let me know if this solution is the wrong way to approach the problem.

I have this exact same problem and would love to know a solution to it as well. I have tried messing with the code in index.php for my theme and it has had no effect on the problem.

That makes sense. So you think that the problem could lie somewhere between WordPress and the email service? Any idea how I would even begin to address that issue?

I tried using WP Mail SMTP and the result is the same. I feel like the problem is in the framework of WordPress itself since it can be made to work by spamming the submissions. I’m just not sure what PHP code could be changed to fix my problem. I saw that other people have had this problem or something similar, but none of them seem to have found fixes either.

Thanks for the response. I am currently using HGK SMTP plug-in which I believe does something similar to WP Mail SMTP, but I suppose it won’t hurt to try.

IT looked at the network traffic for me while sending out the request and we found that the new email notification works when WordPress actually sends it out, but most of the time WordPress never put anything on the network unless I submitted the request several times.

I hate to have to bump this, but no one is responding and I’d really appreciate some help with this problem. How long does it normally take to get any response?

I am having the same problem of not receiving a confirmation email for changing the email address in General Settings. The only way I have got it to work is by submitting the new email address several times in a row and then I will receive the confirmation email and be able to change it.

However, this work-around is not a good solution for me because I am admin for about 20 employee blogs and can’t have the users using a work-around when the confirmation email should be sent out on the first try without out spamming it.

If you find a solution to this problem, please let me know. Thank you.

Is this actually working or did it just work the one time? What if you try to change again to another email address? Does it take several tries like before?
