Well, that was what was happening with me too. Clicking on the title of any particular post brought up the url minus “index.php” which of course meant that the url was dis-functional. I don’t know why setting the permalinks worked for me, but it did. I’m so sorry it didn’t for you. I wish I knew what else to suggest.

ok, I’m an idiot. it figures that it was as simple as setting my permalink structure. I had never used the permalink edit option before, so it never dawned on me. Worse yet, is that someone here had even suggested it a long time ago. Can’t believe I wasted all that time and bandwidth trying to upload my .sql file in a million different incarnations.

soo, for those of you that this may also work for..

in your wordpress admin: click on options. then permalinks.
choose a permalink structure. update and voila!
magic working pages again

Well, none of that worked, so I am back to square 1. Actually, I’m at square negative 1 because I have had to complete delete wordpress (I had twisted it around so badly). I just don’t know what to do. I’ve used wordpress for almost a year and have learned a million things about what to do when and where, but this baffles me beyond reason and I have gotten to the point where I feel almost hopeless that I will ever be able to use my database again.

Please, is there anyone that could help us solve this problem?

Is it relating to the .htaccess file? What could it be?

Ok, I’m having this same trouble (after changing servers and domains and importing the modified sql file), and while I have it narrowed down to the table field that is causing the problem, I don’t know how to make an edit that will affect every post rather than editing each one individually (which I am quite sure is not the proper way of doing it).

In wp_posts the ID line has a field called “guid”. In the “guid” field, the url is giving me only the url and post title but omitting the index.php part of the url (if that makes any sense).

For example:
http://enkuechen.clawz.com/recipes/?p=4
instead of
http://enkuechen.clawz.com/recipes/index.php?p=4

The same thing exists in the post_title table.

What do I edit in order to make that guid field pull the whole url?

I seriously won’t be able to sleep until I figure this out. I’m on 28 hours with no sleep yet, so as you see, the situation is dire. 🙂

Thanks in advance.

I need something like this too. I use wordpress as a recipe collection and would like to allow readers to rate the recipes. Some sort of simple stars ratings would be fine, I suppose, as long as it rates the posts, not the comments. I have looked at Rate-It and wish I could find an example of a site using it so I could determine if it is right for me. Any recomendations?
