ou have to contact your hosting company and get them to fix it on their end.

This is from 2 hours ago on WordPress support:
“cPanel users may find wp-admin blocked due to an update to their server’s mod_security rules. Preliminary reports suggest rules #214620 and #214940 are to blame. Please contact your hosting provider if you encounter this.”

I just spent an hour online with my hosting provider, and they created a workaround so I could get into my site.

Update: I fixed the problem tonight not by following the ideas suggested on this forum.

Instead, I took a chance and upgraded from 2.7 to 2.7.1.

I don’t know what’s so different about the two versions, but 2.7.1 allowed me to change from the default permalinks setting to my old pretty permalink structure. The changes took effect immediately.

I fixed the problem tonight, after more than 1 month of broken permalinks.

I thought, What the h*ll?, and did the automatic upgrade to 2.7.1 thru Fantastico, after disabling plugins.

For whatever reason, after 2.7.1 was installed, I was able to go in and change the permalink structure from Default to pretty permalinks (with year, month and day). I saved the new permalink structure, and my new andold posts were instantly accessible.

I am checking in again. It’s been three weeks since I upgraded to 2.7 and lost all my pretty permalinks. My blog traffic went down to 3 viewings a day for one week and now it’s inched up to a few dozen. I am beside myself. For this I spent more than one year building a great WordPress site and a steady readership?

If anyone has more suggestions on how to fix pretty permalinks w/ 2.7, I’d love the input.

Should I upgrade to. 2.7.1? Or will this screw up the whole thing?

I tried the above fix last night, and it did not resolve the problem. All I get are error messages if I use any structure other than default.

Does anyone have any other recommendations for me?

I am disgusted with WordPress at this point and regret not going with a free wordpress.com blog or blogspot blog a year ago. I am not a programmer and so I cannot improvise a solution. All I did was try to upgrade thru Fantastico on MidPhase and it didn’t work.

Okay, no one got back to me about how to clean the cache, and my pretty permalinks are still broken, after more than two weeks, so I’m trying a new solution:

Someone was having a similar problem three months ago when he upgraded to 2.7. It has to do with magic quotes being on, and how that interferes with 2.7.

I just created a new file in my root directory called php.ini and put these instructions in it:
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
magic_quotes_sybase = Off

Then I reset permalinks to pretty permalinks.

I’m going to wait for an hour to see if this works.

I’m interested in a response to this too. I was disappointed to find out, when I installed 2.6, that WordPress could not automatically schedule the publishing of posts in advance. I was hoping that 2.7 would offer this feature, but it appears from your comment that it does not and that you have been relying on a plugin you created yourself.

Any info on auto scheduling posts for those of us who can’t always post from the field when we’re traveling in remote areas?
