In reply to: FollowSymLinks not enabledThis whole issue about permalinks and htaccess just took a weird turn!
Since no one has looked at the above code to say good or bad, I decided to see what the htaccess I already had would do to permalinks:Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine OnSo I went back to permalinks and changed structure to
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/It updated–amazing–but not to the structure above but to
http:mysite.com/parentpage/childpagenamethis looks great but how does it effect spiders and robots??

In reply to: FollowSymLinks not enabledhmmmm– 2 questions
!. I put the following code .htaccess code in the site and it did not break the site:Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine Ondoes that turn on followsymlinks even though the host says they won’t turn it on?
2. If so, I saw this code on webmasterworld forum and it said it solved some problems with <IfModule> just wanted an opinion about whether it might work on my site (I have already had to reload it fome backup once by adding the wrong code to htaccess.
# BEGIN WordPress # #RewriteEngine on # # Unless you have set a different RewriteBase preceding this point, # you may delete or comment-out the following RewriteBase directive # RewriteBase / # # if this request is for "/" or has already been rewritten to WP RewriteCond $1 ^(index\.php)?$ [OR] # or if request is for image, css, or js file RewriteCond $1 \.(gif|jpg|ico|css|js)$ [NC,OR] # or if URL resolves to existing file RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] # or if URL resolves to existing directory RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d # then skip the rewrite to WP RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [S=1] # else rewrite the request to WP RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # # END wordpressForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: pretty vs almost pretty linksThanks for trying but no go–exact same results. I read somewhere that it might be the rewriteBase / line. I am on a shared webhost and the absolute path is
/home/w/a/mysite.com/html
so I tried rewriteBase /html
then rewriteBase /home/w/a/mysite.com/htmlsame result–any more ideas?
without htaccess the site works just fine–with it, it totally breaks–I haven’t a clue who to ask any more.

In reply to: pretty vs almost pretty linksMy .htaccess in my root dir —
with this code
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPressSet permissions to 777 (on.htaccess)
Went back to my site and got this message
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/options-permalink.php on this server.
Checked permissions were set to 755
And on all site pages got errors saying could not fine the page.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Cannot find WP edit page for my websitehave you tried going to
http://yoursite.com/wp-login.phpIf you transferred all wp files correctly that is where it would be (or in a subdirectory if you made one for your site–ie yoursite.com/sub/wp-log-in.pgp
