Permalinks Problem

    I recently posted about some errors I kept getting via email, saying things like, “A user tried to go to (URL) and received a 404 (page not found) error. It wasn’t their fault, so try fixing it. They came from (URL).” I found out it has to do with the permalinks somehow. I want to use the Custom option and have the /%category%/%postname%/ after my domain (http://www.sassydevil.com/), but I keep getting these errors whenever I set it like that, and I even tried leaving off the beginning and end slashes, by themselves and together, putting “index.php” before the configuration, etc.

    Is there anything I can do to be able to use this permalink option? Thank you.

    If you set the permalink options in your admin section, was your .htaccess file writable? If not, you have to copy the code and insert it there yourself. If you already did that, are you sure your server has the mod_rewrite module installed? If all of that is fine, then i will have to think on it some more. good luck 🙂

    I didn’t have it writable, but I made it so, and reset the permalink structure, and it still sent me the errors. I’ve confirmed that my server has the mod_rewrite module installed. I’ve used previous versions of WordPress with this custom structure, so I don’t know why it’s changed now.

    Here’s what’s in 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

    Oh, yeah, and the posts do show up with the correct structure, despite my getting the errors by email.

    PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

    I’m posting what solved the problem for me, for anyone else who might experience it. It was, indeed, a plugin. I think I forgot to update the permalink structure the first time I tried going through the plugins, and didn’t discover it. Anyway, the one that caused the problems was Jerome’s Keywords v1.9. I found an edit on a blog (not for the problem I was having, but errors with permalinks, nevertheless), and it didn’t work, so I’ve deleted the plugin entirely. If anyone has this problem in the future, and you don’t have Jerome’s Keywords (if you do, try deactivating it and see if that stops the problem), deactivate all your plugins and reactivate them, one by one, and update the permalink structure after each one. When you find the error, you’ll know which plugin(s) caused the problem. If you find one is a problem, deactivate it, but keep trying the rest, just in case there are others.
