Does anyone have any ideas on why this is not working? Do I need to enter it manually into the .htaccess? I have chmod the htaccess file to 666…
Can anyone help me?
Okay, you really need to wait more than 10 minutes before posting again, in the future. This is not a live chat and support forum.
Have you read this page?
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Fixing_Permalink_Problems
Might start with that.
Hi thanks for your reply, yes I have read that page. This is what is in my .htaccess when i change the structure to: /%postname%/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/
.htaccess =
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Is this correct? The structure does change for each of the links correctly, it just always loads the index page no matter what link is clicked.
If anyone can help me out asap on IM (msn messenger) or by email then I would appreciate it. If you can get it working I will give you a free link back to your site from my busy website, this is a good offer.
Contacted your host and confirmed that mod_rewrite and AllowOverrides are on and enabled?
mod_rewrite is enabled and so is allowoverides.
Any other ideas? im hosted on netfirms if that makes a difference.
The offer of a free text link on my site still stands to anyone who can sort this for me, thanks.
Ah. Netfirms. Do some searches here, they show up a few times.
Here’s one example: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/49968?replies=16
Guess i have no chance then unless anyone has any ideas?!
SOLVED! if your on netfirms you just need to put /index.php/ before any of the other tags! so for example:
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
Works a treat 🙂
Tip for the future: If you have to add index.php to make the permalinks work, then they either don’t have mod_rewrite enabled, or do not have allowoverrides turned on.
