did you follow the upgrade instructions? They tell you to update your permalinks.

Yeah I did but the only time they work is in default form. If I try and change it to date and name based like it was before it doesn’t work.
I’m having this problem too. Reloads to index in default mode, otherwise all post and page links become broken with a std “the page cannot be found error.”
Newly created pages don’t work either.
Looking more at it, and it seems the links to the pages are being added onto the index.php link… so its http://www.page.com/index.php/about
… i’m so confused.

Is there anyone who can help?
Fixed:
Open notepad, paste:
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
cgi.force_redirect = 0
save as php.ini in main dir
its on the permalinks page about midway down.

I’m not sure if I did it right because it didn’t fix. Was something supposed to change?
do you have index.php as part of your link?
I’m guessing you’re on a windows server like me so go to this help page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks and do a search for IIS 6.

No I don’t have index.php as apart of my link. The link prints the correct way, it just doesn’t open the page, it redirects to my index page.

Sorry to bump, I just really really need some help.
I reuploaded my htaccess file and that didn’t work. Now I’m with a web host who allows a sort of one click WP install, but I had to do the upgrade by hand, would it be best for me to just go back to the version I had before?

Would it be best for me to just downgrade? I’ve seen a few other posts about this, but none with an answer. It’s really important though that I figure out an answer because with a newer upgrade being released soon, I don’t think that I should forever stay with the downgrade, and I don’t want to post anything to my blog if when I upgrade later on it can all just get screwed up.

I just fixed the problem myself though. It seems as though there have been similar problems with my hosting company, and someone created a plugin for wordpress that once installed fixed the entire problem.
If you happen to host with netfirms and are having a similar problem http://www.joelika.com/netfirms-pretty-permalinks might be of service. Thanks for all the help!
