Title: Permalink troubles Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Permalink troubles * Resolved [angelaharms](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelaharms/) * (@angelaharms) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-troubles/) * I have been having trouble with permalinks. First, Ultimate Tag Warrior pretty urls don’t work. It didn’t create any .htaccess code that I could see. So I turned off the pretty urls for UTW. * But I created a page, as a test, called About. A link showed up in my sidebar, but when I clicked it, it didn’t work. It took me back to the root index.php page (without it’s stylesheet). * I hope this makes some sense. The page is [http://www.angelaharms.com/blog](http://www.angelaharms.com/blog) * I would really appreciate any advice. * Angela Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [angelaharms](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelaharms/) * (@angelaharms) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-troubles/#post-415892) * Do I need to include more information? Or is it a dumb question? I’m really stumped here. * Angela * [spencerp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencerp/) * (@spencerp) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-troubles/#post-415895) * _Or is it a dumb question? I’m really stumped here._ * It’s not a “dumb question” at all.. I’m just not great with .htaccess stuff myself sigh.. Usually people that know more about this stuff will help you eventually.. * Hopefully whooami will swing by then and help you.. she is smart with that stuff, also..

(in particular, OS and is it apache or IIS?) * Was just poking around your site. Permalinks certainly seem to be working. Can you elaborate a bit on what isn’t right? * Thread Starter [angelaharms](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelaharms/) * (@angelaharms) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-troubles/#post-415935) * It’s using Apache 2.0.?. I wasn’t able to confirm the OS, but I think it’s Linux. * In my first message, there were two separate things that happened. First, I couldn’t get pretty URLs to work for UTW’s tags. That, I just gave up on, and let it use ugly ones. So that works. * The second is what matters: when you click on the name of a “page” (rather than a post) on my sidebar, you get the root index.php page, instead of the file ( or even the /blog/index.php page). * If you look at [http://angelaharms.com/blog](http://angelaharms.com/blog) , on top of the right-hand sidebar under pages, it says “Test page.” I created that page, and the link appeared on the main blog page, but if you click that link, it delivers a stylesheet-free version of angelaharms.com/index.php rather than angelaharms.com/blog/index.php. * Hope that was clearer. 🙂 * Angela * [yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/) * (@yosemite) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-troubles/#post-415943) * Can you copy and paste your .htaccess here? And your permalink structure as selected/ entered in Options:Permalinks ? * Thread Starter [angelaharms](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelaharms/) * (@angelaharms) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-troubles/#post-415963) * Well, actually… heh… I went into permalinks to get the … oh, nevermind. Long story short, I erased .htaccess and replaced it, and it worked fine. It’s strange, though, because there had been a whole long list of rewrites, and now there are only a few. Confusing. * Anyway, it works now, and UTW pretty urls still don’t work. But that’s ok. * I am *definitely* going to have to learn .htaccess. I will not be its victim anymore! 🙂 * Angela * [yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/) * (@yosemite) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-troubles/#post-415971) * Will you mark this ‘resolved’ then? * Thread Starter [angelaharms](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelaharms/) * (@angelaharms) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-troubles/#post-415979) * Sorry about that.
