Title: Permalink and warning problems Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Permalink and warning problems * [varzero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/varzero/) * (@varzero) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-and-warning-problems/) * Hi, * I installed WordPress (3.1.3, Italian language) with the latest iThemes Builder theme, same plugins and configurations (permalink: /year/month/day/postname/) on 2 different webservers (Apache) of my hosting provider. * The first one (PHP 5.2) is working fine, but the second one (PHP 5.3) has the following problems. * 1) A warning in the theme layout editor of the admin section (the bold parts of the paths are files and not directories): * “Warning: is_dir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/vhosts/ variante000096/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/Builder/lib/layout-engine/modules/** class.module.php.bak**/images) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/ variante000096:/usr/share/php) in /var/www/vhosts/variante000096/httpdocs/wp- content/themes/Builder/lib/layout-engine/editor.php on line 1545 Warning: is_dir(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
