Archives?

    I am using the WordPress Default theme currently, and my archives don’t seem to be working right…

    The archives links show up on the right hand of the screen for March 2006 and April 2006, but when they are clicked, you are taken right back to the main page.

    How can my page be set up so that only the current month shows up on the index, and the rest is archived by month?

    Thanks.

    Have a link that we could look at?

    What are your permalinks set for? Is your .htaccess writable?

    As you can see, I’m guessing Permalink issues. But I’m willing to be wrong. 🙂

    My permalinks are set at the default setting.

    It does look like I have access to the .htaccess file, although it looks a little weird in notepad.

    Your permalinks don’t work. Have you gone through the trouble shooting section I linked yesterday?

    What exactly needs to be changed or added to my .htaccess file? Should I edit my Permalink structure first? Like to something more related to the month perhaps?

    Here are the contents of my .htaccess file:

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

    # END WordPress

    What exactly needs to be changed?

    At first glance, that looks like a good ol’ WP 2.x .htaccess. So that much is working.

    Did you try some of the troubleshooting items though? For instance, make sure AllowOverride is on for Apache and that mod_rewrite is enabled.

    Or try changing your permalinks off the default and back and see if that gets anything going.

    Some good troubleshooting stuff in that article.

    The control panel for my web server has an option to turn on or off the .htaccess file. Should I try turning that on?

    When I tried changing the permalink setup, I got an error when going to my website.

    Yes, turn on .htaccess. Presumably that will enable the all important allowOverride and mod_rewrite bits (one hopes!).

    Ok – I turned it on and I see no difference.

    If I try to change my Permalink setup to anything different, I get an Error 404 on my site.

    Remember that Permalink Issues link I gave you earlier today? Made any progress going through it?

    Honestly I’m not sure where to start with that…

    I don’t think I can specifically access any of the Apache files, and I don’t know much about how the .htaccess file works.
