I don’t think your permalinks will work without the .htaccess file. If you create a blank one, set the permissions to 777 and try to update your permalinks again, WordPress should automatically add the rules. Then be sure to change the permissions back!
It seems like what I want is something that WordPress’s internal permalink code isn’t prepared to deal with. After reading this writeup by Otto, I’ve come to understand that having my permalinks start with %category% could create a performance issue down the road and I would have to create a function that further alters the … Read more
You need to add the following to your register_post_type() array: ‘has_archive’ => ‘service’
You should never have to touch the mod_rewrite rules. WordPress flushes/rewrites them to .htaccess whenever you save settings on Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks. If that’s not happening, then something is wrong, either with your file permissions, or your local server setup. Also, it is strongly advised NOT to use %postname% alone as your permalink … Read more
Changing the permalink structure back won’t reduce your CPU usage that much. That stuff happens on the Apache side of things (using mod_rewrite), and it’s pretty fast. It might help a bit, but it’s a HUGE pain if you have nice, readable, search-engine friendly URLs at the moment. One of the best ways to reduce … Read more
For the example you’re using (ie www.mysite.com/pagebase/page1) you can: create a page called pagebase create a page called page1 and make pagebase the parent page – the url for this page will be www.mysite.com/pagepage/page1 This does mean that www.mysite.com/pagebase also exists as a browsable page, but I generally use that as a section description and … Read more
Your /etc/users/{username}.conf should look like this: <Directory “/Users/username/Sites/”> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All AuthConfig Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> You also have to change the name Apache runs under to be able to save the .htaccess rules and use the media uploader etc… <IfModule !mpm_netware_module> <IfModule !mpm_winnt_module> User chris Group admin #or you … Read more
The problem was not having mod_rewrite enabled … Resolved it through sudo a2enmod rewrite
When you develop a site on wordpress you may want to create posts/pages with the same name, something that wordpress does not allow by default. This is statement is not true. WordPress will allow you to set up pages with the “directory” structure that you specified right out of the box. I was just able … Read more
I think the problem comes from the rewrite rules that had been saved when you developed the site locally. To fix it, you should go to Settings -> Permalinks and set the permalink structure again. Note that, you may just click on the save button, that will flush the rewrite rules for you.
