just an update on this problem… my host helped me fix this fix I didnt see anywhere on this site so thought I would add it to help those future issues others may experience.

We have corrected the rewrite_rules in the wp_options table of the WordPress Database from s:12:”robots.txt$” to s:11:”robots.txt$”. Permalinks should now be working fine.

hope that helps anyone having this permalink problem.

well foo… I just found out that my server does not support permalink structures and suggested I delete the .htaccess file, upload a new one, permissions to 666, default links in wordpress admin panel, permissions of htaccess to 644, and then it worked… that just just just just sucks. At least my portfolio is viewable now, I just look like a goober that I dont know how to name my files correctly and instead have the icky links displayed ?p=123 bla bla bla…

thanks for the info everyone, and to anyone else having this same problem, contact the host server to make sure they support the permalinks before you turn grey as you sit.

hopefully one day soon /next update for wordpress/ will include a better way for permalinks to work so that servers who dont support the current format can support the new one.

and thanks iridiax, but i already tried that page too…

samboll… I have done what you suggested and still no change. Can someone copy and paste what the .htaccess should look like? Do I need to revert (oy) to an earlier version of wordpress? The server it is hosted on is powweb if that somehow helps. I asked their cust service if they had any ideas and they suggested I contact wordpress… yet here is sit in limbo with no resolution.

Thanks diecastfast for the info… I wish I had a host to fix mine.

I looked at your post, I also attempted resetting my permalinks, gave 666 permissions to my htaccess, reset again permalinks, back to 644 permissions in htaccess… still not working…

It appears as though allot of people are experiencing this problem yet no solutions I have searched have fixed the problem. I’m looking like a total gubber here… my portfolio is unaccessable and my brain is turning into mush… I would really appreciate someone looking at the site, and telling me what I can do.

thanks so much

I suppose I will post here as well. Having same problem with my site https://www.designedyesterday.net . if you right click open link in a new window it comes up with a 404 error, and if you click it normal it redirects to the recent posts page. Currently only the static assigned pages are working, recent posts and the perm static home page of portfolio.

I cant even browse my portfolio, let alone have my clients browse it, i’m just so confused. Any one willing to help, I would greatly appreciate it. thank you.

I too am having this issue. Mine only works with static page defined and only that page displays and recent posts, nothing else, it redirects to recent posts.

I have been searching for solutions and am not finding a solution.

thanks if someone can take a look at this issue.

O please tell us how… please please

I just installed a redirect fix plugin, which now allows the static page to be viewed upon opening the site. All pages still wont load, posts still do load.

I’m so baffled.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thank you, Jennifer

Greetings, I utilized the search here and found this post. I’m having difficulty with page redirection as well…

I upgraded my wordpress lastnight/yesterday to the 2.7 … finally had the time! well now, I must set a static page to be used if I want to view any of my pages… the page I select is the only one viewable…

When I open my site, the recent posts are shown, not the static page, but that static page (and ONLY that static page) is viewable upon clicking. If I change the static page, then I can see the it instead of the previous static page. If I ask to show most recent posts, neither of my pages load.

I first noticed the problem when I edited the widget sidebar “categories” section… I deleted all old posts but 2, deleted all old pages and made 2 new ones… I removed the sidebar categories, then i can see any pages… put it back, still same result.

I’ve reloaded each page from my theme original download in the template one by one, refresh, still same result. I think my eyeballs are going to pop from my skull… I am really not a php coder, I’m a designer, I can “read” (enough to know what code is asking) but not write php.

anyone have any suggestions?

I thank you for answers in advance…
