In reply to: Page & Post links brokenhi Emi. I moved the website to new hosting space (which I was planning to do anyway) and did a clean install. Everything is fine now. Thank you for your help. : )

In reply to: Page & Post links brokenhi Emi. I reset the theme to 2012 and deactivated plugins but the problem remained.
I then completely removed WordPress (having made a manual backup) and did a completely new install. Even removed MySql and reinstalled. And added the last of the original posts.
But still all links (About Page, Post headings, Categories & Archives) are broken. External links ie. to WP in the footer work.

I would email you access if you want to have a poke around to view any .htaccess file if this helps.

In reply to: Page & Post links brokenhi Esmi. Sorry, I don’t know what you mean re the .htaccess file being updated correctly.
I would like to have custom permalinks using /%postname%/
Simply going to the Permalinks dashboard page causes the site to disappear (without changing anything) and shows error message “Forbidden, perhaps you need to change the file permissions for this document or upload an index page.”
Removing the .htaccess file from the server returns the site but still with broken links.
I appreciate your help!

In reply to: Setting up a dual language websiteesmi,
I have always (see my previous requests) been polite and sometimes I even try and help other users if it is something I do know. I have been thinking how to do this and asked a few questions because there seemed to be a number of possible solutions. I am happy to be pointed in the direction but would have liked answers to my questions. There are probably other users with the same questions. Saying No is fine if it can’t be done. Not everybody is as WordPress savvy as you.
I am sorry if I have upset anybody, I didn’t mean to.

In reply to: Setting up a dual language websiteesmi, I am not complaining…I am asking for advice. Tammy M Rogers (above) asks the same thing “is it possible to assign 2 different custom menus to the primary location (using the menus function)”

In reply to: Setting up a dual language websiteshirazdrum, I do listen. I am setting this up for someone as a favour. I asked a few clear questions….is that unreasonable? I am not asking anyone to do the work for me, I am asking for good advice before I do anything.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Setting up a dual language websiteShirazdrum, I had several questions and do not agree that they have been answered
(1) Is it possible to have a different main navigation bar for each language? (using the menus function)
(2) Also, is there any way of having 2 blog/posts pages (one for each language)?
(3) Or, can you install WordPress twice (in folders ‘English’ and ‘Norwegian’) and then have a simple index/homepage to select which site to visit?
Nati1007 replied to me saying she thought (3) was possible.
When someone asks for advice, it’s not very helpful to just say try all of these and see if one works. There must be many people who have experience of this fairly simple problem. It’s OK to say “a little effort on your part” but as we all know it’s very easy to screw things up by just fiddling around.
I appreciate any help. thanks

In reply to: Setting up a dual language websiteI haven’t tried anything yet. I was hoping to get answers to my very specific questions.
Thank you

In reply to: Setting up a dual language websiteIs there not a simple way of achieving this without the use of Plugins?
I do not want a translation Plugin. Both texts will be input by writers in their native languages.
