Well this seems so crazy to me, but (maybe I kind of got this idea from reading someone else’s post), on the ‘Permalinks’ page, I changed the “Common Settings” from ‘Day and Name’ to ‘Custom Structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/” and now all posts seem viewable under there names – so crazy, but just “Thank God” it works!

Hope this can help anyone else struggling with this same difficult issue….

Hey guys, especially dd32 (as it looks by your blog ‘thedailybackground.com’ that you have resolved the issue you had before, which is the same thing I am dealing with now). I have been going CRAZY myself lately with this same kind of issue – i.e. problems with updating permalinks, trying to change my .htaccess file, etc, and I still can not view actual posts on my blog site, jpopexpress.com. I’m really really frustrated now – if anyone can help, I would SO appreciate.

Let me try to explain what happened so you could maybe better help me:

1) First, I had an issue with one of those ‘500 – Internal Server Error’s (I had made a duplicate post that suddenly disallowed me to edit or delete any post). I managed to fix that issue by disabling and re-enabling/updating all of the plugins that I had set up for the blog (also I upgraded to WordPress 2.6.2).

2) I also followed one user’s suggestion to change the permalink structure to the default, then I changed it back to the “Day and Name” permalink structure. This began the permalink problem.) Now I can not view any full post on my site:

Jpopexpress.com

3) I will also note that all my blog files reside in the “sitename.com/BLOG” structure, but are viewable in the root folder – I still really think that this may have something to do with the problem

4) Again, as I say, I tried to edit the contents of the .htaccess file / changing permissions of that file, etc, but this did still not resolve the problem.

Also, I looked for what used to be the “update permalink” feature, but it looks as if they no longer have that in the latest (2.6.2) versions of the WordPress interface.

Any help anyone can provide would be so greatly appreciated…

Hi, first of all – AWESOME plug-in James, thank you for making it. I think this could really be one of the most useful plugins available for WordPress to a lot of people. Just wondering though if it would be possible to hack into it to allow me to add a thumbnail image (like an avatar) adjacent to the Category title w. link (which I would like to be bold) to represent the author of a regular column for my site? Any help on this from anyone would be greatly appreciate.

And also would be great to know if this (or for that matter any other widget) could be included directly into a post or page. That is something that I think is still lacking at least in the WordPress support forums. I’m sure it is possible to embed the contents of a widget or latest posts from a given category directly into a post or page by including the proper call to the right WP function, but that might be a tricky for those who are not at a certain programmer level I think.

Thanks to everyone who can help! : – ]

Oh and I AM able to edit posts here:
MYSITE.com/BLOG/wp-admin/edit.php

but when I try to view a post or the actual MYSITE.COM/BLOG

I get another ‘File not Found’ – arg.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Now all appears OK (at least in terms of being able to get back to the ‘BLOG/…..’ structure, which I still will want to get rid of eventually, and just move posts and categories to MYSITE.COM/etc), yet (at least in Firefox) when I try to Log Out, it won’t let me and re-directs me everytim to the Admin Dash. Oh and by the way I am using WP 2.5.1 – some craziness indeed….. I’m even wondering if it’s a server – hosting provider propagation thing – where it takes some time to update – I also tried to put:

WordPress address (URL): MYSITE.COM/ and
Blog address (URL): MYSITE.COM/BLOG)

to try to take out the “blog” portion of the URL etc.

Hi I think something very similar or even exactly the same just happened to me as it did for 993C4S:

After previously having my blog located at MYSITE.COM/BLOG, and wanting to keep all of the original blog files and postings in the Blog folder, and just access them from my ROOT.com folder), my blog is now completely inaccessible.

I first tried following the ‘Giving WordPress its own directory’ page instructions and changing the specs on the Options page to:
WordPress address (URL): MYSITE.COM/BLOG and
Blog address (URL): MYSITE.COM) and also editing the index.php file (in the root folder) to require('./wp-blog-header.php'); – [taking out the require('./BLOG/wp-blog-header.php'); Lastly, I copied and pasted the code that the Admin page told me to insert into the .htaccess file, and ftped them to the served. At first the blog WAS loading into the ROOT url address, but I still saw a lot of posts as ‘…./blog/post-name….’ yet they all seem to have their URL name automatically change to ‘…….ROOT/post-name…’, so after that, I went back into the Wp-Admin page, selected my site’s ROOT URL for both

WordPress address (URL): MYSITE.COM and
Blog address (URL): MYSITE.COM), and then that’s when the “barbecuing of my blog” began to occur.

Please help – would be SO much appreciated, as neither I nor anyone else can access my site’s blog at the moment or publish for it – 🙁

Thank you so much in advance…..
