FIXED:
turns out my e-commerce plugin was having problems. I deactivated and reactivated it and everything works fine now. Im going to have to keep an eye on that.

yes, thats the problem. the other pages have /index.php in their path as well, but something is messing it up so it doesn’t load with index.php in the path.

Do you know what could be causing my wordpress installation to not see my .htaccess file?

Kmessinger, have you looked at the other pages? None of them show up for me because of that permalink problem, that’s what i mean when I say “everything went to hell”.

Gov, yes, but when you change the homepage to include /index.php because the base name goes to a flash movie the paths change by themselves.

anyways, the problem is that wordpress can’t see the .htaccess file. It gives me this exact error:
If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.

oh and here is the contents of my .htaccess file

DirectoryIndex intro_55_v8.swf index.php

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /index.php/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Great! thanks, I really appreciate it.

sorry, I just noticed that the twitter thing thats part of my theme has an error too
Fatal error: Call to undefined function aktt_sidebar_tweets() in /hermes/bosweb/web179/b1796/ipg.theory5/wp-content/themes/wisebusiness/sidebar.php on line 41

oh. Do you know how to change that members only thing?
