[resolved] WP 2.6 upgrade worked but big issue after (22 posts)

    I just upgraded to 2.6. Upgrade went fine and I can get into the admin.

    My site home page comes up but any subsequent links get me a:

    "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria."

    Everything worked prior to 2.6. My site uses heavily moded CSS but I can't see it being an issue as it is just callinging up different graphics.

    So odd. Any ideas

    **UPDATE: Ok this is weird. Even though I tell the page to use a certain template it is defaulting to the archive template. WTF. Back I go.....

    mrkingid: Could you give us a link to what is not working?

    Because your name links to here: http://www.artbymichaelking.com/

    And those permalinks work fine, as you can see:

    It's running WordPress 2.6 as well.

    ah, no its my other site. Damn, my fault for missing link.

    http://design-studio.com

    when you goto company or any of the other links it borks

    my htaccess reads:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    I've run through the typical plugin deactivation but even with no plugins activated I still have the issue.

    mrkingid, your permalinks look odd

    You might try looking at the permalink structure, set it to the default, or choose a better one say /%category%/%post-name%/ or perhaps you have hard coded links in your template

    links are hard coded but everything worked before.

    Well no idea how it worked before, you need to correct the links then to what works now.

    "index.php" based permalinks seem to be having issues in 2.6. Switch to a more normal permalink system instead (if you're on Linux/Apache).

    Additional: Try adding a category and tag base name.

    the reason I switched to index.php/%pagename/ is that non of the others worked for me.

    I'll get this baby yet!!!!!!!!!!!

    hmm, when I select the second permalink structure and I goto that page I get a 403 error.

    Ideas??

    For some reason it thinks it is a directory and not a page

    Otto. Number 2 solution in your link worked!!!

    However I would prefer not to have index.php in the link.

    Any ideas how I can get it to work?

    mrkingid: If you are running IIS, then yes, you do need the index.php like you had it.

    Try the second option I mention in the above thread.

    Nope I am not running IIs. I am running apache.

    Thing is I originally created the site in a subfolder in my main site hosted on godaddy. The permalink option 2 worked.

    I then transfered the site to Netnation but I need the index.php in the permalink to be able to use semi pretty links.

    Any ideas how I can get it to work with just pretty permalinks? It has been driving me crazy since day one.

    If I ever figure out the solution I'll move all my hosting from Godaddy.

    NOTE: Fresh WP installs onto Netnation have no problems with pretty permalinks.

    I run on GoDaddy and the pretty permalinks work just fine for me. Nothing special I had to do for it.

    Hi! I'm experiencing the exact same misbehavior of mrkingid:
    after upgrading to wordpress 2.6 clicking on post links no longer works and a 404 page is returned.

    - simply updating permalink structure does not work
    - disabling plugins does not work
    - This advice on http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189058?replies=1 fixes the problem!
    "on the Settings->Permalinks screen, add some values in for the category and tag bases. The words "category" and "tag" will do just fine. As long as they are not blank, this should work around the bug."

    Thanks otto42

    I have tried everything suggested - my pages load up - but they are blank, no error message now.

    I tried removing the index.php - no luck
    added category and tag - error message removed but blank page?

    rawalex: if you use index.php in your permalinks you just need to add text in the category and tag boxes on your permalinks page and save.
