Permalinks problem (I think)

Hi Guys,

I’ve got a site and I’m not 100% sure whats happening but all root level pages work but others dont.

If I access:

http://www.domain.com/home
http://www.domain.com/albums
http://www.domain.com/contact-us

These work fine…

If I access:

http://www.domain.com/album/this-album
http://www.domain.com/album/that-album
http://www.domain.com/album/my-album

I get a 404 error

I’m thinking its a permalinks error but then I noticed that this:

http://www.domain.com/galleries/my-gallery

Works

Any ideas where I should start?

Also, this is a rebrand on my existing site, and I’m looking to change my url from http://www.domain.com/site to http://www.domain.com which I can do easily, but how do I tell google I’ve moved the url (so that the existing google listings still work) (possibly 301 redirect?

http://www.domain.com/albums/that-album
http://www.domain.com/albums/my-album

Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings -> Permalinks. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

Esmi – Thank you 🙂 I reset back to default and it worked!

Then I reset to %postname% and now its broken again…. I checked the Using_Permalinks link in your post but %postname% is “correct”

Must be something in the .htaccess I would guess…

My .htaccess:
```
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
```
Anything wrong?

No – that’s fine. Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server.

I run my own server, I’ve checked it and mod_rewrite is enabled 🙁

How odd 🙁

Is there anything else in your .htaccess file? Can you re-start the server?
