Hi dear people,
On the website Basschepers.nl, when i click any blogpost (either from the home page or from the blog index page), it redirects to the home page.
Possibly, this happened after a manually updated WordPress, however i can't be sure about that.
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Oh that's not good.
How does your permalink structure look?
settings > permalinks
I'm asking sine I haven't seen this kind of setup with permalinks before. Here are one of your links. http://www.basschepers.nl/archives/590
It feels like it's trying to reach a archive page but it can't find one, so it goes back to the index.php (which I guess is your home page)
It can be so many things. If your are interested in the anatomy of a theme, i think this can be pretty helpful.

Hi Hixen,
Thanks for thinking with me!
Permalink structure looks like this: http://www.basschepers.nl/archives/123
Now i did find a clue: i can't change the permalink structure; WordPress tells me i need to update .htaccess. My question now: how should i update it? Is therre anything i need to change or copy or...
Thanks again!

Hi again
Do you have access to your .htaccess file? do you know where you can find it? do you have write access to it? (can you change stuff in it?)
If you do, please, paste the code, and let us see if something is wrong. (use pastebin.com if it's alot of code)
But thinking over this again, it seems strange to me that the links stopped working for you after this update. Have you tried disabling all your plugins, and check if it works?
If it works, you can start by enabling one by one and see when it stops working again.

Hi Hixen! Thanks again for your advice :).
I replaced .htaccess before and today tried it again by first emptying it, then changing the permalink structure to default so that wordpress could auto-fill it again... didn't help. Here's the code that's in it now:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Deactivating all plugins didn't do the trick, either :(. Any ideas what could be wrong?
thx!

Hi Hixen and others,
Back just to let you know i found the answer to the permalink problem.
Turns out the plugin files of plugin WP4FB combined with Peerapong's great theme Jing were causing the problem. Even with the plugin itself deactivated, the files were still interfering. At least, removing the plugin files completely from the plugins folder solved the problem.
Of course i had tried deactivating all plugins, but the problem then persisted. Only after i decided to do a totally new installation of wordpress, the theme and the uploads and plugin folders, i found out that the plugins folder contained the solution. I then put all plugin in a tempporary folder and started putting them back in the plugins folder one by one. WP4FB finally turned out to be messing things up :).
Hooray and thanks for all the help!
