Permalink structure behaving oddly after move

    Hi,

    I’ve just moved WordPress to a new server, successfully, apart for some odd permalink issues. If anyone could help me out this it would be greatly appreciated.

    Basically, I was using ‘/%postname%/’ as my permalink structure. For WordPress to work on my new site I have to write it like this: ‘/index.php/%postname%/’. Does anyone know why this is or how I might resolve it?

    I did find this topic on it:
    http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/324738
    However it seems quite a roundabout fix for the issue.

    Thanks.

    I had exactly the same problem.

    Changing the permalink to /%postname%/ WordPress told me to update my .htaccess file.

    It took me a bit of time going through these forums and then using my ftp program to show all the hidden server files to realise there in fact was no .htaccess file.

    So I opened up notepad and put this code in it:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    and saved it as “.htaccess” (with the quotes included).

    then uploaded via ftp to the root directory of my server.

    it worked a treat.

    Now, why couldn’t they have made it that simple me. At least if you’re reading this you won’t have to waste a day working on this problem.

    have fun….
