In reply to: Post 2.8 upgrade, links to monthly ARCHIVE don’t workMy server host fellow suggests the problem is that the files that constitute my Theme, which are three years old, do not sync with the updated 2.8 WordPress system.
My theme is precious. I don’t want to dump it.
So I am loooking into those Theme files for the commmand code that creates pages when people click on the Monthly Archive buttons.
My hope is to recognize the command, find it providing mistaken URL formats, and tweak it to sync back up to WPress 2.8 …
Does anybody happen to know WHICH file types I should be looking in?
(There ARE several htaccess files … They contain nothing but error messages …)

In reply to: Post 2.8 upgrade, links to monthly ARCHIVE don’t workI’ve updated since last post from 2.8 to 2.8.2 hoping that might solve the problem.
No luck there.
The primary htaccess file mirrors the WP Dashboard Permalink page suggestion precisely.
But there are other htaccess files in subordinate folders of the WordPress section of my site that contain nothing but Error Messages …
Does anyone know if every single htaccess file in the WP universe should contain the code given on the WP Dashboard Permalink page?
Perhaps I’ll try swapping that code into all of them and see what happens ,…

In reply to: Post 2.8 upgrade, links to monthly ARCHIVE don’t workWell, thanks again for the encouragement.
I did the SAVE CHANGES update.
Now the monthly archives, when clicked, go to a perfectly blank white page, rather than the error message.
And the htaccess file seems to have the code the WP Permalinks page says should be there.

In reply to: Post 2.8 upgrade, links to monthly ARCHIVE don’t workThanks for the thought.
But looking at my permalinks page under Settings on the WP dashboard, I don’t see how to “rebuild” old links.
The Permalink pages offers options for CHANGING the link formats. I don’t want to do that, however, to avoid making obsolete all the existing links in the universe to my old posts.

In reply to: Set PermissionsWhen I try to use the WP backup system — it says:
“WARNING: Your backup directory is NOT writable! We can not create the backup directory.”
AND
“The backup directory is not writeable! Please check the permissions for writing to your backup directory and try again.”
Where do I find my permissions to make this change?
