The type of permalinks you write about are also called “Pretty Permalinks” and are a feature of WordPress that has been designed for the Apache HTTP Server with Mod_Rewrite enabled. Every other server is at first incompatible to this and you should not use those pretty permalinks on those system unless you know what you … Read more
I stopped using that plugin a long time ago. I don’t think you really need it anymore honestly. I just remember it did the same thing that I was able to do when I disabled it, so I stopped using it. I don’t think its still supported by the developer either, so may be out … Read more
Two issues seem likely: Your DNS changes haven’t propagated yet. It takes awhile for the DNS change to spread across the internet. Give it 1-2 hours and try again. [Hostgator recommends pointing your name servers to them.] If the issue remains, then check how your domain was entered into the quick installer. It’s possible that … Read more
The search rewrite rule only captures the pattern search/(.+)/?$. A request to search/ matches the root pages rule, so WordPress tries to find a page with that slug. You could create a page at that location and load a template via a filter, or, you could add a rewrite rule that just does an empty … Read more
Are you doing this inside The Loop? I’d try something like this myself: if ($post->post_status == “private” && !is_user_logged_in()) { echo “You must be logged in to view this page.”; } else if( $post->post_status == “private” && is_user_logged_in() ) { // Page code goes here }
Try to just use a index.html file and use <META HTTP-EQUIV=”Refresh” CONTENT=”5; URL=http://example.com/wp-content/themes/your_theme/index.php”> in your <head> section. Let’s see if the easy stuff works. edit: to be on the save side, always display a link to the index.php file with some descriptive text like “if your browser doesn’t redirect you automatically, please click here“
WordPress doesn’t automatically suggest pages when a 404 occurs. Many themes have a 404.php template file that can effect what happens when an incorrect URL is entered. Maybe your theme has a 404 page. If you don’t want it to interfere, you could try deleting the 404.php. REVISION: OK, I understand your request now. The … Read more
I found that the problem was with the otherwise very useful plugin Legacy URL Forwarding. It uses the following function (abridged here) with the 404_template hook. function doUrlForwarding() { // make a $query based on the $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] // if a post is found, redirect to it if (!empty($query->post->ID)) { wp_redirect(get_permalink($query->post->ID), ‘301’ ); } } add_action(‘404_template’,’doUrlForwarding’); … Read more
You may take a look at my 404 Tools plugin. I run a filter on ‘404_template’ there. The filter function is getting the template URL as an argument, and it is still possible to send HTTP headers. You could hook into this filter too, prepare some data you may need to print out later, change … Read more
Go to Dashboard > Settings > Permalink Settings. However it’s set, change it to something else, one of the other formats. I had an issue moving, same symptom as you described, and this fixed it. You can also see this help guide on Go Daddy for help with this issue. (this edit added by another … Read more
