Just had a similar problem using a custom permalink structure. I changed the structure back to “default” then back to its custom structure, seemed to fix everything.

Have you opened your htaccess file to make sure it’s as it should be? You hadn’t mentioned that.
Also plonk this somewhere in your theme, it’ll grab the entry in the database for the permalink structure…
<?php if (current_user_can('level_10')) { echo '<h1 style="position:absolute;top:10px;left:10px;background:#fff">'.get_option('permalink_structure').'</h1>'; } ?>
You’ll need to be logged in as the admin to see it, or you can adjust the level in the code so editors can see etc… of course you could check the entry manually in the database if you know how.. (above code is purely a simple approach if you don’t know how to use PHPMYADMIN etc)
If both htaccess and the database entry are as they should be, it might be worth creating a new htaccess file, simply to see if it helps..
Hello,
Thanks for the reply,
What should it say in my htacess file? I appear to have 2 of them. 1 is a text file that says; RewriteEngine on
The other file won’t open.
I am still having problems with this. can someone please help me.
My media uploader does not work could this be part of the same prpblem?
I should also say i have 2 totally seperate versions of wordpress running on the same host. They both have the same problems with both the posts and uploader.
You could try deleting or renaming (to deactivate) the .htaccess file(s) so that a new one is created. Also, contact your web host since maybe something’s changed with them. See:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Using_.22Pretty.22_permalinks
I have tried creating a new .htacess file. nothing happens,
Just try to backup all posts and import it in another blog and see mate if it works the just reinstall wp in the current domain and use…
iridiax, thanks for the renaming tip. I simply renamed my .htaccess file that lived in the same folder as my “wp-admin”, “wp-content”, and “wp-includes” folders to “.htaccessBACKUP”. Then I went back to the permalinks page at wp-admin/options-permalink.php, and reentered my permalink structure, and all was solved. Thanks again
