Permalink Issues

    I’ve recently installed wordpress and went through the process of giving it its own directory. Everything was fine until I went to change the permalink structure. Once I did that, my blog would not longer generate the posts properly.

    My blog is at: http://veronicawong.ca/blog/
    my custom permalink structure: /blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

    It works fine when the Default permalink structure is selected, but not any of the others. I know it has something to do with the .htaccess file, and I’ve combed the forums and tried the random tricks to no avail. I tried deleting the .htaccess file altogether, and WordPress did generate a new one, so I don’t think that’s a problem.

    I’m not skilled in apache (i have no idea what that is…) so the things I’ve read about that look like Greek to me. I should also note that I’ve installed WordPress on this server before, and changing the Permalink structure did not give me this error the last time.

    Any help?

    Hi

    Your single posts are coming up just fine with your custom permalink turned on – they are using the exact custom permalink you wanted.

    So the problem is probably not your permalinks but the way your blog page is configured.

    In Settings / Reading, see if you have a static home page configured , and even more important, have assigned a posts page. If you want your top page (home page) to be the posts page, make sure you have not assigned a posts page in Settings / Reading. Also you will not want a static home page.

    These are the first things that come to my mind.

    All the settings are as they should be:

    • Front page display latest posts
    • blog pages shows 10 posts

    Any other ideas?

    Those are not the settings I was referring to.

    On Settings / Readings – check the things I pointed out in prev post

    Those are the settings under Settings / Readings.

    I do not have a static home page configured, not have I assigned a posts page. I have it set to display my latest posts.

    I think it might be an issue with the fact that I’m trying to give my wordpress its own directory while leaving the blog in the root directory.

    Under Settings / General I have:
    WordPress address (URL): http://veronicawong.ca/blog
    Blog address (URL): http://veronicawong.ca/

    If I have this, then I receive the error. However, if I have http://veronicawong.ca/blog in blog address, then the blog works fine.

    Would you know any way around this?
