For some reason I was able to fix this by switching to month and name as the permalink setting, and then changing the permalinks to two parters: about-x, the-gallery, etc made it work. *shrug*

There is an error logs folder in the root directory, but it’s empty. I enabled error logging and will post again once I get some info.

Thanks for your help Becky – I contacted someone at my hosting provider and with a little sleuthing we determined that the issue was somewhere in the WordPress installation. I am doing a clean install now and hopefully that will fix the issue. ??

I checked the .htcaccess file and the RewriteEngine is set to On. I read the WP documentation which says to delete your .htcaccess file so WP can generate a new one and did that then set the permalinks to post name… still doesn’t work. I saved a copy of the old htcaccess file and this was in it related to mod_rewrite:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp-admin/includes/ – [F,L]
RewriteRule !^wp-includes/ – [S=3]
RewriteRule ^wp-includes/[^/]+\.php$ – [F,L]
RewriteRule ^wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/.+\.php – [F,L]
RewriteRule ^wp-includes/theme-compat/ – [F,L]
</IfModule>

I reset my permalinks to post name and was able to insert the gallery, but now none of my pages work (I am getting 404 errors.) ??
