janebohaI am now having this problem - again. The permalink custom structure for my blog is not working; the index shows the background color but nothing else. Several months ago, I had a similar problem and I set permalinks to default, then back to custom, and it worked fine. This time, the "trick" is not working.
Have tried that multiple times and the blank page. Earlier in the day, I was getting the 404 error. Now not that, but the blue background and nothing else. Is this progress?
I do use .htaccess file for files that have been renamed. The .htaccess file code is simple:
RewriteEngine on
redirect myblog http://www.mywebsites.com/myblog
etc. etc. for a number of pages.
For example, one is:
redirect joeyws_blog http://www.dogsdontlookbothways.com/joeys_blog
Per some suggestions, don't want to go back to "default" theme because when I go back to the theme I prefer, there are big problems going back and forth.
I've read the "using_permalinks" file and it seems complicated. Reluctant to do any change in coding as it might make my problem worse.
Any simple change i can make? The server (BlueHost) is mod_rewrite. I used to use FrontPage but using Microsoft Expression for the last few months. Some pages are still coded with FrontPage so .) I had the FrontPage extensions removed but tried reinstalling them to see if that was the solving the problem. No change.
Thanks. Any help is welcome!
