Another permalink problem: blank pages, even when I reset.

    I sifted through the Codex and the previous topics regarding permalinks, but I couldn’t find anyone who shares the problem I’m having.

    I applied a new permalink format today (/archive/%year%/%postname%/), but after doing so, all of my permalink pages contained only this code:

    <html>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>

    When I tried to reset the permalink to its original thing, the pages were/are still blank.

    Any ideas about what’s going on?

    Try disabling all plugins. If that doesn’t help, can you safely revert back to your old permalinks?

    I can pull up individual posts through the wp.php file:

    It appears to be something in the theme template(s). Try (temporarily) switching to another theme.

    I tried the theme switch, and the “classic” theme worked. Nice idea. Unfortunately, I then tried to switch back to my custom theme, and it still didn’t work.

    So my first question is: What’s the deal? The themes were working before I tried the fancy permalinks. Were they corrupted? If so, how?

    Anyway, solution-wise, I assume that I should create a new theme, and import all of my styles and pages into it?

    Let me know if anyone has any insight or better ideas.

    UPDATE: The problem seems to be with the Post Template (single.php) … I don’t see anything weird in the code, but I’d be happy to post it here if someone thinks it’s necessary.

    In regard to your suggestions, Macmanx:

    As far as I can tell, I don’t have any plug-ins activated, and I could not revert back to the old permalink style.

    Thanks for your feedback, though.

    Dude, you need to give us the link to where you posted the code.

    Okay, so I pieced my single.php back together, bit by bit, and it seems to work now, though it’s really fragile. Basically, the page doesn’t show up unless this link is in it:

    <?php } edit_post_link(‘Edit’,”,”); ?>

    Which seems weird to me because I removed that thing ages ago, and the whole thing seemed to work until I changed the permalink format. Disappointing.

    I don’t know if anyone’s willing to slog through this, but here’s the working code:
