Permalinks & comments

[fransg]

When activating the "pretty permalinks" structures it becomes impossible to see or post any comments nor switch to other post, pages, whatsoever.

My .htacces file is writeable, the rewrite viewer plug-in gives this information:

> Permalink: /%category%/%postname%-%post_id%.htm
> Writable .htaccess file found
> mod_rewrite found
> Not using pathinfo style index permalinks
> Using mod_rewrite permalinks

.htacces looks like this:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]


Frontpage extensions are disabled, as that could be an issue too.

The permalinks do show in the browser, but that's all.

Obviously it has to be a setting on the server, but I have no clue..

Anyone experienced the same? And if so, how did you solve it?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have it activated in case you want to have a look: http://fotografie.fraco.nl

Same problems are in the www - domain, so it has notheing to do with the fact that it is a subdomain, I think...

Ive never seen this problem before actually. What is the permalink structure you entered in the permalinks options page?

[fransg]

Currently it is set to:

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

just one of the standard options to choose from, that's the weird part of the question.

There's nothing wrong with your permalinks tructure, so it could be some problem with your Wordpress installation. Have you tried reinstalling your Wordpress?

[fransg]

It is a new istallation, but done through my webhosts controlpanel.

I'll give it a try installing it from scratch myself.

Thanks so far for replying, I'll keep you posted.

Its a bit complicated to install Wordpress manually. I recommend that you reinstall using Fantastico (I'm assuming you're using cPanel) after deleting the current installation.

Did you install any plugins? Have you tried disabling all your plugins and see if that solved the problem ?

[fransg]

I tried the permalinks with a new & fresh install to make sure no plugins would cause any problems. I had noticed it with my other blog not working, so tried it first.

I am not using C-panel, my hosting provider has one of it's own.

I"ll give it a try, see how far I can get. Read the help at Wordpress.org first very thoroughly.

Manual install didn't do the trick...

[nekonron]

Have you tried any other permalinks structure?

[fransg]

Yes, tried every possible combination..

BUT, good news, I have solved it, for now, by using a small plug in named: verbose rewrite plugin, made by Ryan Boren (boren.nu).

It looks like this:

/*
Plugin Name: Verbose Rewrite Rules
Plugin URI: http://wordpress.org/#
Description: Forces the use of extended rewrite rules rather than the compact set.
Author: Ryan Boren
Version: 0.1
Author URI: http://boren.nu/
*/

function verbose_rewrite() {
global $wp_rewrite;

$wp_rewrite->use_verbose_rules = true;
}

add_action('init', 'verbose_rewrite');

?>

This did the trick. Just need to check if it affects my webpage loadingtime, but the permalinks seem to work..
