TheMovieman Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Hey, I updated and now am having an issue with one of my Wordpress sites (I have 2 and the other one is fine)... When I click on the article header, I get a 404 error: "The requested URL /2009/08/12/trailer-watch-jennifers-body/ was not found on this server." (it's any one of them, not just this article) Here is the Wordpress URL: http://cinemanicchronicles.moviemansguide.com/ We're able to post and the posts show up on the front page but none of the actual links for them are working. Have any of you guys run into this? Edit: I just realized this is yet another update. I was only at 2.8.3, I'll see if this fixes it... Edit 2: Ok, upgraded and error still there. Would appreciate any help. Edited August 12, 2009 by TheMovieman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovieman Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 And I just checked and even the category links are not working and get a 404 error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 It sounds like a problems with the permalinks to me. Redo/update them please and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovieman Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 It sounds like a problems with the permalinks to me. Redo/update them please and see what happens. Unfortunately I don't have my .htaccess file set to writeable and cannot find it in that folder (my other blog has it). And when I created it with the code Wordpress gives me to make those changes, I get a Forbidden error so I deleted that .htaccess file (the page now loads fine).

TCH-Bruce Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Glad you have it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovieman Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) No, what I meant was once I deleted the .htaccess file, I no longer got the Forbidden error, I still get the same 404 errors as I did before... Edit: Ok, I just uploaded a blank .htaccess file and the permalink thing updates (via wp-admin) but I'm still getting the error. I had asked the Help Desk about it and this is what he said: "I have checked and found that "category" is missing under public_html. So please upload that directory under public_html using file manager or ftp. Please try it now and get back to us if you need any further assistance." I don't quite understand this especially since my blogs are in two separate directories and my other blog does not contain a "category" directory either...

TCH-Bruce Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm not sure what to say. You don't need folders for permalinks. Remove the folder. Then edit your .htaccess file either manually or let Wordpress do it (you will need to change permissions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovieman Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Which folder do I need to remove? And just to note, I don't think he was talking about permalinks, at the time I was getting these errors and didn't mention permalinks. Since my one blog didn't have a .htaccess file, I created a blank one, placed it in the blog's folder and made it writeable. Then I went into the permalinks section on the admin page and tried updating (it says it did) and I'm still getting the 404 error. I'm not sure what happened either because it was working earlier this week... Thing is, my other Wordpress site is working just fine.

TCH-Thomas Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 I don´t currently remember if wordpress wants a htaccess in the public_html too and not just in the folder where you have wordpress installed, but I would try putting the permalinks code in a htaccess file in the public_html and see if that helps.

TCH-Bruce Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I am guessing you have this resolved. I have gone to your blog and all the links appear to be working. So what did you do to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovieman Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Dick DeVance was kind enough to enter the appropriate code and got it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtvoyles Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Anyone know why one would start getting a blank page after upgrading to *.4? I'm frustrated, and it's late. Not important, since it's just my whining, but annoying to me. http://blog.danvoyles.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Dick Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Anyone know why one would start getting a blank page after upgrading to *.4? I'm frustrated, and it's late. Not important, since it's just my whining, but annoying to me. http://blog.danvoyles.us You have a plugin that was causing the issue, it is most likely not compatible with the latest release. I have renamed the plugin's directory to "statpress-broke", this essentially disables it and your blog is now loading correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtvoyles Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 As usual, a simple fix I didn't figure out, and TCH rescues me. Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
