Permalinks set to post name not working

Hi everybody!

I guess this is simple but can’t solve it.

Whenever i set permalinks to have blog/postname/ i get a 404: Not found. The requested URL /blogname/postname/ was not found on this server.

But there is no problem when i set permalinks to default.

Could anybody please help me to make blog/postname/ work normally?

Thanks!

I’m running network install, and this is the main and first and only blog in it so far.

Can you get any permalink structures working, like “Day and name”?

Hi James!

No. Only the default structure works.

Is it maybe related to domain mapping? I haven’t mapped nor even added any domain yet. I just have a multi site in the domain where i’m creating the blog.

Do i need to map or save that main and only blog so far as primary, or do i need to solve it somewhere else? How?

Ok, i’ll try to be simpler:

All default settings in permalinks (except default) start this way:

http://blogname.com/blog/

I want them all to start like this:

http://blogname.com/

How can i achieve this? I tried including /%postname%/ in Network Admin > all sites > blogname > permalink structure, and played around saving changes here and there but i still get 404.

Ok, i kept on playing around (saving and refreshing permalinks settings in both site and network admins) and now it’s ok. Main blog posts don’t show anymore the /blog/ bit, so urls look like this: http://blogname.com/postname/

It seems you shouldn’t care at all about the permalinks setting in site admin but only in network admin?

I set site’s to default permalink structure first. Then saved network’s permalink structure to /%postname%/ and didn’t touch the site’s anymore. Even if in site’s admin it still looks like blogname.com/blog/postname, the front end shows blogname.com/postname/

These links were useful (especially the last post in the first, number 29):
