In reply to: htaccess problemFound a solution – web host changed permissions on the server so that .htaccess file is allowed in the web root directory.

In reply to: all pages 404Sounds like not being able to copy/edit the .htaccess file on your live server is the problem.
Do you have pretty permalinks turned on in your development environment?

In reply to: htaccess problemThink I have narrowed the problem down to this line:
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]I think the mod_rewrite rules are not being applied because my htaccess is in var/www/htaccess and is not allowed in the root, var/www/html.
Still cannot work out how to get around it.

In reply to: Only show excerpt rather than full bodyYou would replace the_content() with the_exerpt() in index.php
Also in archive.php, archives.php and category.php, depending on what you are wanting to achieve.

In reply to: htaccess problemShould also mention that I have the htaccess control plugin installed and it is able to pick up my htaccess file.

In reply to: htaccess problemBeen through that several times too.
I think the problem is due to the directory structure on the server and that the htaccess file is not allowed in the var/www/html directory where there wordpress index.php file is.
I’m guessing that something in .htaccess will need to be added/amended to compensate for this, but I have no idea what…

In reply to: htaccess problemThanks for the reply. Can confirm that mod-rewrite is located on the server.
All my other WP installations have .htaccess in the same directory as the wordpress install and work fine. First time I’ve seen this problem.

In reply to: htaccess problemI should add that putting the .htaccess file in the same directory as the wordpress files totally screws things up and gives ‘mod_rewrite rule not allowed here’ errors in the log.
