Well that’s sort of awkward. And very confusing. Thank you.

Thank you — the link you sent me said that 7.4 is suggested but the link from THERE says that 7.4 is required. As I can’t update PHP I will have to move to another plug-in. Thanks for the help.

Excellent, thank you. I have asked them to do this.

I’m having the same problem since I upgraded WordPress and haven’t changed anything else including my theme.

I have that same problem and I think it has to do with WordPress’s new feature of automatically redirecting top-level pages to the main homepage.

So, on my old site, before I upgraded to WordPress, I had a page called https://example.com/faq.html and used an .htaccess redirect once I moved that page to https://example.com/faq in case people had old links pointing to it.

RewriteRule ^faq\.html /faq

However, any page that errors out at the example.com level https://example.com/blahblah will just cause WordPress 2.0.1 to load the main page keeping the URL intact. This is what the last lines in the WordPress part of the .htaccess file do, I’m fairly certain. I am also looking for a solution to this problem.

I’m having this same problem. my wordpress blog is a small part of my overall website and I use the .htaccess file to redirect some other URLs in addition to the custom 404 page, outside of the WordPress universe. What I’d like is for my changes to the .htacces file to work AND to be able to use the same old clean URLs that I was using before the upgrade. For the record, my .htacces fil looks like this, post 2.0.1 upgrade

# DirectoryIndex index.php
# Options FollowSymlinks

ErrorDocument 404 https://librarian.net/404
RewriteRule ^index\.rss /wp-rss2.php
RewriteRule ^index\.rdf /wp-rss2.php
RewriteRule ^index\.xml /wp-rss2.php
RewriteRule ^about\.html /about
RewriteRule ^what\.html /about
RewriteRule ^faq\.html /faq
RewriteRule ^talks/index\.html /talk

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

# END WordPress

Suggestions?
