WP permalinks don't work, anybody have experience or some pointers?
 

I'm a bit lost here.

I have tried to get the permalinks working in Wordpress, created Mod rewrite rules in the .htaccess file but still it doesn't work, it causes a "page not found" message".

Anyone have some experience with this? I tried everything and also Googled and tried some things but it won't work.

Thx in advance

permalink

/%postname%/



.htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

What version of WP are you using? I know a recent version was putting the htaccess file in the cgi-bin. Just need to move it.

thanks for the tips, after some struggling it finally works :thumbsup


Hi Baddog many thanks, I'm using WP2.8, your advise was the missing thing, now it works.
:thumbsup

when this happens i just delete the htaccess and go back to permalink settings and let WP rewrite it

What he said :2 cents:

Only an idiot would use wordpress :upsidedow

whats wordpress?

Yeah we are all idiots :winkwink:

That only works if the htaccess is in the proper folder. cgi-bin is not going to help . . .
