Main page / default post pagination broken, 404 (11 posts)

    I just started helping out with the website where I work and I noticed that pagination on the main page is broken. Category pagination works fine but the main page/unfiltered posts gives a 404.. Turning off custom permalinks and setting it to "Default" makes pagination work, but that isn't an option for me. The other Common Settings do not work either. The permalink structure is /%year%/%category%/%postname%/. Category and Tag bases are empty. I need to keep the permalinks the same as they are now because they have been sent out in email newsletters.

    I'm ok with html and css, but have only done some light things with PHP. I have admin access to the WP Dashboard and FTP to the file host. The website is http://responza.com, and WP is installed in a subfolder "blog". http://responza.com/blog

    Category;
    http://www.responza.com/blog/category/it-management/page/2/

    page.php; http://pastebin.com/ZanEQf6f
    index.php; http://pastebin.com/DkfZFQMr

    Let me know what else I can do/provide to help.

    Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server.

    Also, I have tried disabling "WP-PageNavi" as well as installing "Category pagination fix", no combinations of those work.

    I just got off the phone with our host, they said "It is enabled by default because of the fact we are running WordPress". Is there a way I can find out if it is actually running correctly or not?

    You're missing a line in your .htaccess rewrites.

    .htaccess is now http://pastebin.com/upaNJF8R. Pagination still returns a 404.

    There is another .htaccess one level higher in the root, is that relevant?

    The .htaccess file now looks OK.

    is that relevant?

    Could be. Depends upon what is in it. Can you try temporarily renaming it to something like .htaccess.old?

    Just tried it, no change.

    In that case, I'd suggest going back to your hosts, giving them a copy of your WordPress .htaccess file and asking them why it's not being implemented on the server correctly.

    All right. I really appreciate your help, esmi. I'll post back here my results.

    Thanks,
