I look at your examples on your site and while I can copy and paste with the best of them i truly have no idea where exactly to insert this code. am i deleting other code? do i just open functions php and stick it at the top? doesn’t seem so. You have so much…( forgive me) advertising in the code.. that.. i can hardly figure out where the real meat comes from. * How do i revert back to before it was broken??? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [permalinks not working after upgrade to 3.1. and 3.1.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-not-working-after-upgrade-to-31-and-311/) * Thread Starter [beclecto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beclecto/) * (@beclecto) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-not-working-after-upgrade-to-31-and-311/page/3/#post-2049994) * Thank you Luke. I just wish they’d fix it.. like now.. not in version 3.2. I HOPE that they are working on it day and night to get this resolved. This is a BIG DEAL to a lot of people!

But, never had issues I can only see the one htaccess file except for the ones i renamed htaccessold during the start of this mess. It never occurred to me that post name was a bad thing but after reading the above documentation i see now . None of the permalink provided work, except the default one. the site had been on this server since October 2010 and worked fine until i upgraded to 3.1.1. Now I’ve updated to 3.1.2. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [permalinks not working after upgrade to 3.1. and 3.1.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-not-working-after-upgrade-to-31-and-311/) * Thread Starter [beclecto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beclecto/) * (@beclecto) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-not-working-after-upgrade-to-31-and-311/page/2/#post-2049920) * /%post_id%/%postname%/ Does not work.. getting 404 error message… I guess my jubilation was premature 🙁 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [permalinks not working after upgrade to 3.1. and 3.1.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-not-working-after-upgrade-to-31-and-311/) * Thread Starter [beclecto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beclecto/) * (@beclecto) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-not-working-after-upgrade-to-31-and-311/page/2/#post-2049912) * Just a word to let everyone know this issue is resolved. I contacted my host.. Hostgator.. again. I got a tech very familiar with wordpress. He changed my permalink to post name.. and it worked. it seemed that the “month,numb was causing some kind of issue.

Should the wordpress folk be contacted? how is that accomplished? and how are you with joomla? 🙂 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 33 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beclecto/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beclecto/replies/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beclecto/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
