In reply to: Permalinks not working with Godaddy/WindowsIf you change the permalink setting and then edit your Security Page, what does it show for the Permalink just under the Title?
It shows the permalink as “http://rmgfund.com/security”
If it shows the correct Permalink, then you need to edit the link that you are clicking to get to the Page.
The link did need to be updated, but this isn’t the problem. I can type the page URL into my browser, and the page can’t be found. The problems is that the page has errors with pretty permalinks, or http://rmgfund.com/security. It only works with the default permalinks, or http://rmgfund.com/?page_id=169.
The real issue seems to be Windows hosting. I’ve tried several fixes and workarounds, but no luck so far.

In reply to: Permalinks not working with Godaddy/WindowsYes, all of the forums have said that Linux hosting is better, so I’m looking into that.
Other forums mention plugins that facilitate pretty permalinks on Windows. Does anyone have information on that?

The website is password protected, and the password is needed to view the site. I’m including the information again (please don’t flag!) so that anyone trying to help can see the problem.

In reply to: Permalinks not working with Godaddy/WindowsUpdate: With the permalink settings in default mode, I made a new “security” page that is working. The page won’t work if permalinks are in any other setting besides default.
I see what you are saying about Pages vs. Posts. This is a Page that I added to the website. I now see that permalink settings are supposed to apply to Posts. So why do the permalink settings break my Page?
Still looking for a solution that will make my page URL pretty…
Current page URL: http://rmgfund.com/?page_id=169
Desired page URL: http://rmgfund.com/security[password moderated]

In reply to: Links not workingThanks so much for your help! I’m glad it’s at least functioning right now.
I’ll contact my host again and hope for a few more suggestions here.

In reply to: Links not workingChanging permalinks to Post Name broke it again, but it is working in default mode.
Still on a search to get better permalinks…

In reply to: Links not workingThat worked! Still have the ugly page id (http://rmgfund.com/?page_id=186), but at least it’s working. I’ll try changing the permalinks again, but I think that will mess up everything again.

In reply to: Links not workingSwitched to default theme, and the problem was still there… Not sure what else to try.

In reply to: Links not workingThanks for the tip. Deactivated all plugins. Home page is ok, but security page still won’t load :/

In reply to: Links not workingTurns out there is an .htaccess file in my webroot. Here it is:
#Made Multi-Site with Multi-Site Enabler 1.5#
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

In reply to: Links not workingHi,
/security is a page, and I can access and edit in my WP dashboard.
I’ve never loaded a 404 redirect plugin, but Godaddy support seemed to think the behavior was normal with my hosting setup. Maybe there is a 404 redirect on Godaddy’s end? Can I look in the FTP for that?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Links not workingThere’s no .htaccess file in my FTP. It seems like Windows hosting doesn’t utilize .htaccess?
http://redwoodmedia.biz is the parent hosting account (if that’s what it’s called). I have a couple sites using the http://redwoodmediabiz hosting account, including http://redwoodpropertymanagement.net. That site is on wp 3.9.1 and fully functioning. http://rmgfund.com is on wp 3.9.2.
Godaddy said that it is redirecting to redwoodmedia.biz because it can’t find rmgfund.com/security.

In reply to: Fatal Error with "date based" PermalinksFoia, are you on Linux or Windows? With the 3.9.2 update I am having a problem with permalinks too. Might try this reinstall trick.
