Sometimes the problem can be with the instructions.</p> <p>I thought it had to have something to do with the .htaccess file. </p> <p>In the root I already had a .htaccess file. So when I did step 7, I set the old htaccess aside and copied the one from /blog (which generally would be /wordpress) over to root.</p> <p>Searching didn't really yield the answer, so I figured I would compare the two files for any lacking code. Sure enough. </p> <p>In my case the .htacceess file from inside /blog lacks a first line I had in the root .htaccess:</p> <p>AddHandler php5-script .php</p> <p>Which likely is present due to my provider allowing to select php4 or php5 via the hosting control panel.</p> <p>Once I restored my original .htaccess file (which included the 8 lines of required wordpress code by the way) the preferences permalinks page returned.</p> <p>Hopefully this will help resolve the problem for somebody with the same issue. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/261486#post-1043646 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 03:29:39 +0000 WpBlogHost 1043646@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Something similar happened to this guy here:<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/260164?replies=3" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/260164?replies=3</a></p> <p>Maybe post over there and see if they got it fixed and how. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/261486#post-1043640 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 03:13:50 +0000 icerabbit 1043640@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi, </p> <p>I had my wordpress install in a subfolder /blog/<br /> Decided to move the blog to the root of the site.<br /> Followed the instructions regarding giving wordpress its own folder.</p> <p><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory</a></p> <p>This was successful.<br /> The blog is displayed as the site root, pages &amp; post links work.<br /> I can log in as admin via /blog/wp-login.php<br /> Everything in the admin seems normal there, apart from one thing (so far): </p> <p>the Settings &gt; Permalinks section remains black? </p>
