Is your .htaccess file (used to create nice permalinks) writable by WP? Each new page requires (?) a new entry in the rewrite rules
I’m having a lot of trouble with my .htaccess file. My service provider seems to have changed the functionality of the webshell, and the .htaccess file is hidden.
I will try to access it using an FTP instead and see if that makes a difference, but I suspect you are correct.
If .htaccess causes you too much grief, stop using nice permalinks (I know, it hurts… 🙂 ). But I hope you get it sorted (if it is in fact the problem)
Thanks for the help guys. I’ve figured it all out. I tried to FTP into my site using a stand-alone FTP client and discovered that my service provider doesn’t allow that unless I want to pay extra for a dedicated IP…duh!
Lucky for me, I discovered a check box at the initial screen of the WebShell FTP program they use that you can check to show hidden files. This option is not available anywhere other then the first logon screen, which is why I missed it the first time.
I’ve set the permissions and now everything is working perfectly.
Thanks for your assistance.
