    If someone posts a comment they get this error:

    Not Found

    The requested URL /home/johnmc/public_html/scaredbunny.com/^http://76.186.244.48/$ was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Any idea which file is missing and how I replace it?

  • Hi jm… just tried to comment and yep you are right, that’s an odd one. I view sourced your page and it looks okay. This may not be your problem at all but try changing your Permalinks (under Settings) to say Month/Year and see if it happens. I notice you’re using the default ones anyway and there’s nothing seo friendly about using those.

    Log out. Try to post a comment yourself.

    It’s a shot in the dark, but it is weird how choosing the right permalinks seems to clear up a lot of problems….

    Hope this helps 🙂

    Well, it’s different, but not better. Now I get:

    Not Found

    Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.

    And the generated URL makes no sense.

    jmcachran, if you’ve updated you permalinks you have to make sure that your .htaccess file is writable or you would have to write the given code (found on the Settings>Permalinks page) into your own .htaccess file into the root of your WordPress blog.

    Without the proper changes made to your .htaccess file WordPress will not be able to properly direct your page loads to the correct page.

    Changing permalinks changes the URL structure of your site and the .htaccess file will handle these type of calls to display the right page.

    Hope this helps!

    Funny thing is I found that answer as you were writing!

    Thanks!
