In reply to: wp 3.1 permalinks still broken after many trys with fixes describedSUCCESS!
I finally figured out what was going on with my situation after upgrading to wp 3.1.
I spent many hours looking through theme code and found the culprit in my functions.php code.I had this tidbit defined which was causing the issue after upgrading:
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();Once i removed this from my functions.php code and updated my permalinks settings page by clicking the “Save Changes” button to rebuild the .htaccess file, I was good to go and back fully functioning.
That was it for me. So for other that might be having similar issues like the ones that i had, I would look into your functions.php file for this type of code.
Hope this helps someone out there! I can now rest at night…

In reply to: wp 3.1 permalinks still broken after many trys with fixes describedYah i came across this yesterday and gave it a read. Not sure that i completely agree with the NO SEO impact part, but i will not go down that road.
Problem that is at hand is a LOT of users that have a LOT of pages that use this permalink structure… I cant just say screw that and just use another one… it will break a lot of links that they might have. Plus going in and changing permalinks and/or setting up redirects is a big task to ask someone to do.
I am not saying that you said this is what i should do, just stating a concern of mine. 🙂

In reply to: wp 3.1 permalinks still broken after many trys with fixes describedLooks like it was added to 3.1.1 lets hope that they can track down the issue.
I am still struggling with what is wrong and leaning back to the wp core code vs the theme…

In reply to: wp 3.1 permalinks still broken after many trys with fixes describedThanks for submitting this to the TRAC… I hope they agree that it is a WP issue and don’t close it.
I too still think that it is WP core code that is the culprit here since it was fine before and there were no changes made to the theme in recent months.
I hope to find what is going on and report back my findings. Maybe i can track it down to a function or something…

In reply to: wp 3.1 permalinks still broken after many trys with fixes describedI did a test…
I created a new wp 3.1 instance and just set it to the custom peramlink ( /%category%/%postname%/ ) that i have been using and using twenty10 theme. The theme works fine now…
So now it must be something with my theme… double ugh.
I am thinking that it must be something in the archive.php page since that handles the category pages and or the single.php page.
I am going to try to extract these sections into my theme from the twenty10 theme and see if i can pin point the exact issue at hand.
I dont know what i will find but think this is where the issues are now.
If you have any insight to where i might look besides these two theme template pages that would be awesome.
Thanks,

In reply to: wp 3.1 permalinks still broken after many trys with fixes describedI did as you suggested for the 1and1 fix. I remember having to do this in the past so it would know it was php5.
DIDNT FIX IT, I still get 404s after adding this into the htaccess.
I do appreciate your help in trying to track down the issue here…
Any other thoughts?

In reply to: wp 3.1 permalinks still broken after many trys with fixes describedI tested the following:
– I Set the permalinks to: Day and name: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
Like you suggested. Then the post links ( the_permalink() in the loop ) goes to the post correctly. When i click on a category ( the_category() in the loop ) it goes to a 404 page.– I Set the permalinks to: Month and name /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
As described above it goes to the post ok, but doesnt go to the category links, just 404 for these.I am using 1and1 for hosting, they use Linux.

In reply to: wp 3.1 permalinks still broken after many trys with fixes describedYah they work fine when those are set to default. just goes to ?p=1 etc.
here is my demo site:
http://www.templatemine.com/wp31/Keep in mind that none of the pages are built out besides the standard pages that wordpress needs to function.
You can see here that if you click on the post name that wordpress created or the uncategorized category link you will get a 404 page…
Not sure what is going on…

In reply to: wp 3.1 permalinks still broken after many trys with fixes described– I installed “FV Top Level Categories” plugin, then tested to see if it did anything. NOTHING different. Then deactivated it.
– I then installed “Permalink Fix & Disable Canonical Redirects Pack” plugin, then tested to see if it did anything. It is now just keeping me on the home page when i click on post titles, category names.
– I then tried to have both active to see if they worked together for some reason and got the same result as the second part.
Still a no go…

In reply to: Category Permalinks after 3.1 Upgrade Not WorkingHi Ipstenu,
Sorry for being vague… I have posted like 10 places over the net for a fix. This was the only post where i did not post my details. Here is what i have done and what the issues that i have are:
Background:
I heard from users that categories ( the_category() in the loop ), post linking ( the_permalink() in the loop ) from index and categories sidebar ( using wp_list_categories() ) bring up 404 pages. I am using the custom permalink structure of /%category%/%postname%/ (which i thought was the most popular way, and featured on the wp help page).What I have done so far:
– Started off by doing a clean install (new db, new folder on my dev server). Downloaded wp 3.1 and installed it in the new folder via my FTP client. Did the normal setup that i do all the time (100s of times before). Things were functioning from a wordpress standpoint except for the stated issues above (category and post pages getting 404s).
– So since it was a clean install there were no plugins that might be causing the permalink issues. But i went ahead and deleted the two default ones that come with WP 3.1 just to make sure (even though they were still disabled). Still getting 404s.
– So then i proceeded to do the suggested .htaccess delete and respawn action. Did this as described by many sites and still had the same issue. I did this like 10 times.
– So i was starting to think it was my theme… So i turned off my theme and reverted to the default (twenty10 theme). Keeping my permalinks set to /%category%/%postname%/. The same issue was happening with this theme. So this is what made me think that it was not my theme and more of a WordPress 3.1 issue.
– If i set my permalinks back to default, they of course work fine, but i have thousands of people using my theme and use the custom permalink structure. So I am afraid that those people are a.) going to have broken sites if they upgrade and b.) have broken links if they revert to the default permalink structure.
– I tried to install the hotfix plugin and that did nothing.
– I made sure that my code was not chaining permalinks like some of the plugins that were causing the issues. Nothing there to cause my troubles…
The only other step that i have not done was install another instance of wp 3.1 in a completely different folder on my server… I was saving this as a last effort if there wasnt a fix that someone uncovered.
So that is where i am and what i have done. Hope that this is clear and links you to a possible solution.
Regards

In reply to: Category Permalinks after 3.1 Upgrade Not WorkingI have no plugins installed or activated. I deleted them all to try to narrow down the issue. Plus it was a brand new install of wp where it only had the two default ones, Akismet and Hello.
Any other ideas out there?
