My .htaccess file works fine with just the ErrorDocuments, and it’s even OK with the first two lines: `RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / When I use pico or nano to paste the rewrite rules, I get a 500 internal server error. If I upload .htacccess via Dreamweaver/FTP it get a 404! This seems better than the 500, but still not OK.

I have been pasting in the rewrite rules directly through a terminal/ssh connection.

Unfortunately, I’m still getting errors with my permalinks. 🙁 I thinks some thing is wrong with the rewrite rules that WP is giving me. The entire .htacccess file works fine until I actually put the rules in – then the entire site turns into one big 500 error. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [css file reverts to one saved on computer – Please](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-file-reverts-to-one-saved-on-computer-please/) * [Ruby Sinreich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rubyji/) * (@rubyji) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-file-reverts-to-one-saved-on-computer-please/#post-58547) * I have also noticed this and I am on Dreamhost, which I think you are on as well, Renee.

In fact adding the rewrite rules to the htaccess file make the error handing not work anymore – and causes even the base page of the site to generate a 500 error! Not that it will help , but here’s where I’m working:[wp.OrangePolitics.org](http://wp.orangepolitics.org) I am using Dreamhost as well, but I have disabled PHP as CGI.

(Or art least, that’sthe oldest one displayed in an author archive.) What could cause this? BTW, upon further inspection I think the 10 extra posts are drafts by me. So that number (163) shouldn’t be what shows on the public side, is it? Also, last night I re-did the import in 3 chunks, isolating what I felt was the problem post, and I got all the right authors in the right places. Hooray! However, this leaves me more stumped than ever about the archive problem. I’d like to check my code and just make sure I haven’t screwed anything up in my template. Does anyone have a good example of a page that displays archives by author, date, or category depending on the url? i.e.: ‘if’ statements with ($author), ($m), and ($cat). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Author archives broke on me](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-archives-broke-on-me/) * Thread Starter [Ruby Sinreich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rubyji/) * (@rubyji) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-archives-broke-on-me/#post-75247) * More thoughts… could this problem be related to my import of posts from MovableType? I have had trouble with authors ending up in the wrong places, so I manually edited my import file `:(` to remove all extraneous groups of dashes. (MT uses 5 dashes to separate posts and comments in its export file, but I can found a bunch of extra dashed lines in there. I don’t know what they were doing.) What would make my category and month archives work, but not the authors.

I have been havign trouble with my athors coming out in the wrong places. I removed all my (many) failed imported posts and ran your script. I got the following error: `Importing User records ... Invalid query: Table 'opwp.wp_users' doesn't exist SQL : INSERT INTO wp_users( user_login,user_pass,user_firstname,user_lastname,user_nickname,user_icq,user_email, user_url,user_ip,user_domain,user_browser,dateYMDhour,user_level,user_aim,user_msn, user_yim,user_idmode) VALUES ('rubyji','1a1dc91c907325c69271ddf0c944bc72','rubyji','',' rubyji','','editor@orangepolitics.org','http://lotusmedia.org/blog/','','','','',' 1','','','','');' What does this mean? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Importing Movable Type Blog with Multiple Authors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-movable-type-blog-with-multiple-authors/) * [Ruby Sinreich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rubyji/) * (@rubyji) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-movable-type-blog-with-multiple-authors/#post-65086) * I thought I had worked around this bug by importing and naming each author with the name that appeared right before (or was it after) the correct name in the import interface. But now I am doing the import again and it’s even weirder! It get’s them all right for about 8-9 months of posts, and then it screws up the authors on the last month or so. Anything weird that I should be looking for? This is so frustrating. I may try to break up the import files as I am making a big mess having to delete all the authors and re-import over and over…. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Sortable nicer archives for WordPress 1.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sortable-nicer-archives-for-wordpress-12/) * [Ruby Sinreich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rubyji/) * (@rubyji) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sortable-nicer-archives-for-wordpress-12/page/5/#post-56480) * I love this, it works great in my site. However, I just noticed that now when I load my narchive.php page, it shows no entries by default. It used to show all the entries until I selected something to sort by. Any idea what hapenned?
