It also disables the canonical redirection feature as it causes an endless redirection loop outside of wp-admin. This plugin also appears to resolve an issue with a recent release of WordPress 3.1 and IIS servers. Description This plugin ensures the REQUEST_URI variable is set during the initialization of WordPress, allowing permalinks to work correctly. Installation The REQUEST_URI variable is not set correctly by the server platform. This plugin builds each variation of REQUEST_URI by peicing together other available variables. 1. Upload the ‘permalink-fix-disable-canonical-redirects-pack’ folder to the ‘wp-content/ plugins/’ directory. 2. Log into the WordPress dashboard http://example.com/wp-admin and activate the plugin. 3. Setup your .htaccess file as described below, this is the most important step. 4. _Make sure the .htaccess file is setup properly._ The server requires that you convert end of line characters to UNIX format (LF). Be sure to add a hard return after the last directive. See additional-instructions.rtf for a step-by-step. 5. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] 6. a. If for some reason you’re using this plugin _outside_ of the Concentric/XO shared hosting enviroment (assuming Apache) use the following .htaccess rules: ` RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{ REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] Changelog ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a00f0152412c93b4fc50b6522d92002e983b796493def386e8d4136786142837? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Fixes one problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fixes-one-problem/)󠁿 [drew3000](https://profiles.wordpress.org/drew3000/) September 3, 2016 But all the other post URLS stop working, still, so the problem runs deeper than what this plugin addresses, it seems.
