When I click on a permalink like:
http://indigitalcircles.com/dcfitzg/?p=1998 ,
I'm taken not to the single post page with that particular permalink but to the most recent post instead. I cannot for the life of me, figure out why. It happens no matter what theme I use and I have not messed with the permalinks at all.
I've tried de-activating and activating various plug ins and get no change. I've changed themes and uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of WordPress. I also tried deleting the htaccess file and resetting the permalinks. Nothing, so far, has worked.
Any ideas?
Have you tried deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
Yes I deactivated all plug-ins and tested the permalinks; they still redirected to the most recent post instead of their individual one.
permalinks are fine - the browser addres bar has the right url, and the breadcrumb also knows which post it is to be.
i would suspect single.php - but that can't be because you said that this happens with other themes as well (?)
are you sure you have tried this with the default theme twenty ten?
have you tried deactivating the breadcrumb?
Try:
- switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
- resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
I switched to the twenty-ten theme and reset the plug-ins folder and then switched back to my theme and it seems to be working now. Not exactly sure which thing fixed it but they seem to work now.
Thanks for your help.
I'd recommend switching back to your old theme first and checking that everything is still working. Then re-activate the plugins one at a time - again, checking everything after each reactivation. Chances are you'll hit the same problem again at some point but hopefully you'll then know which plugin was the cause.
Go through the plugins folder reset process again but this time delete the rogue plugin and deactivate the rest.
