In reply to: Standard Search Not Working – Goes to front of blog!Hmm… I think it is on a different shared host… At the same place (Hostgator) – It should be exactly the same but honestly there isn’t another blog on this one exactly.
What can I look for there? I know the PHP version would be the same…

In reply to: Standard Search Not Working – Goes to front of blog!I’d tried the first two before with no success… Just tried the FTP fix now, still no good!
As I said, it’s an odd one.
What exactly does search.php need to use on a 2.9.2 build?

In reply to: Want to change the title of my blog and keep domain/url the sameYou’ll be fine. Just go inside your Settings -> General page in the admin area and change the “Blog Title” at the top… That will make the name showing up on the front of your blog different but nothing else will change.

In reply to: erroneous /comment-page-1 in comment url generated after commentingI was banging my head for weeks over this one… Thanks to dkusleika for mentioning that settings’ location. Disabling pagination under Settings -> Discussion worked like a charm for me.
Cheers!

In reply to: The Horrors of Changing Permalink StructureHost not obeying .htaccess correctly? …I guess I can buy that.
Since I doubt that the codex’s writers, AlainS and whooami are all wrong about this one, I guess it must be something local to my host.
Geez… I’ve got a super-standard build on a hostgator shared server, and the .htacess file is exactly like it should be… I can’t imagine where to start asking questions.
In fact, it seems easier just to use the Redirection plugin at this point, and keep the stupid permalink path ending with /%postname% -It might take a while to set the redirects up from /postname.html to postname, but at least I won’t have to deal with hostgator tech support!
Thanks for everyone’s help.

In reply to: The Horrors of Changing Permalink StructureSo I maintain that /%postname%.html simply doesn’t work, and the Codex is WRONG. An Admin should really change that.

In reply to: The Horrors of Changing Permalink StructureThat’s what it generates each time I delete it.
All rewriting is going well… It just doesn’t rewrite things with a .html on the end.

In reply to: The Horrors of Changing Permalink StructureThanks for replying, whooami.
Yes, /%category%/%post-name%.html would be wrong… I can’t imaging how that typo got made here. :p
Rest assured, I entered /%category%/%postname%.html into the field from the start, copied and pasted from the codex directly. The post name has always translated into the actual post name without a problem.
My only problem here is that the .html shows up everywhere but on the actual post…. Links are all made to .html, and even while editing or creating posts, you can see the .html in the permalink preview.
It just doesn’t exist there with a .html – It only exists without it. (So all the link on my site, correctly pointing to where it should be, are now 404s!)
Got any better ideas? Thanks again!

In reply to: The Horrors of Changing Permalink StructureI guess the Codex is just Wrong then. Permalinks with a .html on the end don’t work. 🙁

In reply to: Remove “Subscribe to our feed using RSS”Sounds like your “default widget” is part of the theme, assuming you can’t select and remove it from your widgets panel.
Look for it’s code in the sidebar.php file or something similar in your theme editor. If you’re not sure what you’re doing with the php, have someone who is rip it out for you, it should be very easy for an experienced coder to do it. (Perhaps for only $10 on rentacoder)
Hope that helps!

In reply to: The Horrors of Changing Permalink StructureI’ve now read through everything in the codex about Permalinks and what I did should be working perfectly… But doesn’t.
This problem seems like it will affect everyone who wants .html at the end of their wordpress-generated permalinks. I can’t understand what I’m doing wrong, It’s a new build and All the settings are what they should be.
Anyone, please?

In reply to: The Horrors of Changing Permalink StructureAfter noticing the problem I deleted .htaccess from my server and then went to save the permalink settings again. That generated a new .htaccess file.
The contents of it are simply:
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPressIt seems so strange that wordpress can create a site full of links with .html at the end, yet not a single one of them actually exist.
Thanks in advance for your help.

In reply to: Any Ideas?Whoa, that’s some advanced usage!
Rentacoder is about the only thing I can suggest.
Good luck!
