Whatever broke your links I am sure that this is not it. * Is your webserver working correctly ? Can it display: * ``` http:///readme.html http:/// http:///wp-admin ``` * What style of permalinks do you have set ? * What does your .htaccess look like ? * Thread Starter [nagerz14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nagerz14/) * (@nagerz14) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-problems-9/#post-5298826) * Thank for your help * ok – i try to explain what i’ve made and what up. only blog description changed, local site broken, live site ok! * now i wait on the live website with changing the title till i have the local setup runnin ok. (on the local site i have now changed, because its allready broken) what is ok, is: backend with full functionality and also the startpage( homepage) all the child-pages end with blank (not found) – chrome says to many redirects! * i have it installed with mamp (codekit). permalink structure: postname htacces: * ``` # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress ``` * [RossMitchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rossmitchell/) * (@rossmitchell) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-problems-9/#post-5298912) * Are the results the same with a different browser ? * Please change your permalinks to default, does your site work with the ?p-123 style links ? * I still think you are looking for a server issue rather than a WordPress one. * Thread Starter [nagerz14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nagerz14/) * (@nagerz14) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-problems-9/#post-5298937) * the result is the same in all browsers. i see that there is something wrong with the adress. is that it does redirect from localhost to an incomplete localhost adress, as i can see now, but not found out yet what is causes. * Thread Starter [nagerz14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nagerz14/) * (@nagerz14) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-problems-9/#post-5298938) * if i change to ?p=123 link-style, the whole site is corruptet. * [RossMitchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rossmitchell/) * (@rossmitchell) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-problems-9/#post-5298956) * Can you experiment with some simple html only web pages, is your browser able to follow links ? and load images ? * Which operating system are you using ?
