on a side note, this is bluehost, no redirects set in cpanel as well

No, it’s installed in the main directory which is also where htaccess is.

I hope so ??

https://www.innovative-results.com/personal-fitness-training-blog/

All the continue reading links…are not founds.

I just pasted a fresh htaccess in with the normal stuff:

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

updated my permalinks to
/personal-fitness-training-blog/%postname%/
and /%category%/ /%tag%/ like usual.

by odd setups i mean is previous work done on sites, redirects, htaccess files, but I have taken all out and let wordpress refresh everything on a lot of them and still no dice…

this is with literally dozens of different hosts

only like 20% of them work correctly, especially since there’s so many odd setups in the industry

for every WP install I do I will post here the permalink results just to make a point and get the word out that this NEEDS to be fixed in an upcoming version.

Yet again, another wordpress install, different server another bunch of dead permalinks

This is getting seriously ridiculous. What a waste of time.

In this example, https://www.innovative-results.com

The blog and pages itself work fine but if you try to get to an individual post I get a post not found.

NEVER seen this before. WordPress permalinks continues to surprise me and make life miserable.

Before it’s too late, yes of course i’ve been to the wordpress article about permalinks millions of times, and about 200 other pages on the topic as well

<?php
// Silence is golden.
?>

was the code in my index.php file, all alone

was like wtf? oddly it’s what’s in the zip file from your official download site

so i changed it back to the 2.9 code for index.php and everything worked:

<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

I guess there’s a mistake with your final package?
