Found this article:
https://deepdishcreative.com/wordpress/2011/07/how-to-upgrade-mysql-for-wordpress-3-2-updates-with-mediatemple/

Don’t know if THAT helps…

I got the same problem!
Updated to PHP 5 all my sites on MT, but MySQL is: Server version: 4.1.25-Debian_mt1

I found this article from MT to update MySQL to version 5:
https://wiki.mediatemple.net/w/(gs):Upgrading_from_MySQL_4.x_to_5.x

But it’s ridiculous how you they mention an “upgrade tool” without telling you where to find it: “The upgrade from MySQL 4.x to 5.x is very easy with the (mt) provided tools, but that doesn’t mean you should just run the tool.”

Also, they say it’s safer to “Open a new (gs) Grid-Service; all new sites include MySQL 5.” but should we BUY a new service and than transfer all our sites? What kind of info is that? You don’t understand a thing!

Or should we wait for this to happen?

Maybe it’s just me, but this is awful management from MediaTemple, really!

@ldexterldesign Actually, the above fix is not a solution.
I meant, even with the pagination fix (which is a common fix), the pagination gets screwed if you got CUSTOM TYPE and PAGE with the same name.

So, I am as stuck with this as you are.
;-(

PS: and the WP-PageNavi plugin doesn’t have anything to do, I just mentioned it.

I’m happy the topic got some interest.

ldexterldesign, giving plural to the slug is not the solution I am looking for. The names “events” and “event” are not what I am looking for, since the section is called “agenda”, and can’t have the plural of that. So, if the slug “agenda” is used by the a PAGE that serves as an index with the loop for the agenda items (events CUSTOM POSTS), how can you go and have the slug “agenda” for your CUSTOM POST TYPES so that you get this:

websitename.com/agenda
websitename.com/agenda/event-name-1
websitename.com/agenda/event-name-2

That screws up pagination. And, I do have the pagination fix;

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; //for WP-PageNavi



<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(array( 'query' => $agendaloop )); } ?>


See what I mean?

I am really surprised that nobody is interested in this topic/issue, beside me and jdaily.

Do WP users really have no problem to settle with this limitation? I can’t believe that among all the designers and developers nobody needs or want to have a logical permalinks “by sections”.

And how do you go and explain to a CLIENT that your choosen CMS for their project just doesn’t allow you do have that, if that is what they need?

jdaily, I got this problem explained in another topic:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/pages-and-custom-types-cannot-have-the-same-name-so-how-to-structure-permalinks

It would be a good idea if you could “pass by” and have a say, so that the problem gets noticed by the community.

Thanks.

Preeminent, are you installing WP Multisite only to have a logial permalink structure?
Like defing secttions for your website: Blog, Store, …

If so, looks like you are suffering from this WP limitation problem:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/permalinks-infinite-frustration-a-huge-wp-limitation-problem

Or am I wrong?

Is there anyone who got this sorted out?
How about the usual suspects gurus?
??

jDaily, I got you email, but I’ll answear here so that it can be helpful for everybody.

Actually the pagination problem I was having was due to the fact of having a page and a category base with the same name, or a page and a custom type witht the same name. So I changed that, because WP doesn’t allow you that. Which is not the solution I was looking for.

I explain the general limitation in this forum post:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/permalinks-infinite-frustration-a-huge-wp-limitation-problem

Which is ignored, as of now, from the community.

Try to lool and see if the page-category-custom type name is your problem too.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the link and the interest, Susanta!

I’ll have a look at it and see.
Still, it’s killing me that such a basic structure is impossible to achive in WP by default.

And even worse, no-one seem to care about this limitation.

Really, no-one on this one?

Ok, this is not just about Custom Types. I discovered that normal posts got the same problem.

If a page is an index of Posts or Custom Posts, the pagination works only if that page is a child of another page. When the page is not a child, pagination gets a 404 page.

You can see it here:
(Normal Posts – Doesn’t work)
https://manonuda.com/blog/
https://manonuda.com/blog/page/2

(Custom Posts – Doesn’t work)
https://manonuda.com/agenda/
https://manonuda.com/agenda/page/2

(Custom Posts – Works!)
https://manonuda.com/extras/quotes/
https://manonuda.com/extras/quotes/page/2

Whenever I set the not working index pages as a child of another page, it works.

I tried to deactivate all plugins, except WP-Pagenavi and qTranslate (because I got a function that breaks the page without the plugin installed), and didn’t get anything as a result.

Do you have any idea what’s wrong?

Hi Fubra, I tested the Development version and I still got the same problem with Post Types.

The website is this: https://manonuda.com
The post types that doesn’t work are in the agenda section.

I will deactivate the plugin again, so it will work as soon as the plugin’s off.

Thanks for leeting me know about further updates.
Cheers.

Sorry, Steve, with the new version of the plugin I encontered another problem.

Languages are fine now, but it looks like Custom Post Types in single view return a “Not Found Page”.

I tried to save the Permalinks options to force a ruibuild of permalinks, but nothing.

I had to deactivate the plugin again, cause I need those Custom Types on, of course.
I’ll wait for your reply…
Thanks.

Fubra, the new version works perfectly with qTranslate now. Thanks a lot, you’re great!

As I told you, I’ll donate, because this is effective support. Thanks again.
