Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to Create a Download Page?Hey Omar,
I was disappointed to see that after 7 months no one replied to your post with the answer. Especially, now that I need to know how to create exactly this kind of page! Hehehe.
Did you ever find out how to do this? Please advise if you ever come back and read this thread again.
Thanks!
hi gekkewaus, how are you?
I’m just checking back in to see how things are going for you and your website. Did you ever figure out what is causing the 404 Errors?
Hi gekkewaus,
Well, I am happy to announce I have solved the problem of getting 404 errors and my shopping cart and other pages not showing up because the URL ended in .html.
I was able to permanently remove the html extension by installing another plugin called, Permalinks Editor, which can be found here: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/permalink-editor/
After you install Permalinks Editor, there should be an option to change the permalinks. Go to admin –> page –> edit and then look for the “customize” button next to the permalink. Change that.
But then note, I found it necessary to deactivate the plugin and then reactivate it again for everything to work correctly.
Now, to answer your question gekkewaus, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin. Although, again, what I found is I had to deactivate and reactivate for many of the changes I made to actually work!
I did not actually uninstall/reinstall the plugin. I simply used the deactivate/reactivate option(s). Too often just updating did nothing. Not sure why. But that was my experience.
As far as the problem you are having, gekkewaus, I don’t know if this is really going to help you. Your links don’t appear to have .html at the end.
However, if I may so boldly suggest, you may want to customize your links. Make them “prettier” for SEO purposes.
So instead of http://firstclassverhuur.nl/?page_id=130, you could customize the URL to be http://firstclassverhuur.nl/fotogallerie
Just a suggestion. 🙂
One more thing. You may find some help for your problem in other programming forums. I would think there are some in your country. I fancy http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=110. That’s a link to the WordPress section of the Digital Point Forum.
If I find any answers for you, I’ll come back and let you know.
Ciao.
Hello again gekkewaus,
OK, I just came from your website, http://firstclassverhuur.nl/. And yes, when I go shopping (Winkelwagen) and then click Afrekenen to checkout, I get a 404 error. This is similar to my problem. But not exactly.
The checkout information is available. It’s just at the bottom of the page. The checkout page is not completely empty which is what I am experiencing. But again, like my website, for some reason you’re still getting a 404 error at the top of the page.
By the way, I realize I did not tell anyone where to find my website. Perhaps that could help me get this problem solved. Go to: http://www.heirloomtomatoplants.uni.cc
I think if I find the answers to my problem, it could help you, too. I will let you know if I do.
Bye for now.
Hi gekkewaus, hoe gaat het? 😉
Don’t get excited, my friend. I don’t really speak dutch! I used Google translator. ha ha. OK, back to business.
I discovered that when I remove the “.html” from the URL, I can see the checkout page (and the other pages) in my browser.
There is “.html” at the end of my URL’s because I customized my permalinks to /%postname%.html/. Now, I know if I plan to add a shopping cart it may not a good idea to customize my permalinks this way.
I hope my reply helps. In the meantime, I will look at your site.
good bye voor nu 🙂
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Permalink Editor] [Plugin: Permalink Editor] 404 not found errorsWow. I am having the very same problem! Only, I am receiving a 404 error while using the wp-ecommerce plugin.
The ‘missing’ pages in this case are the checkout, transaction history and your account pages. But here is what I discovered. Maybe this will help you find a solution to your problem which may in turn help you help me:
When I remove the .html extension from the URL, the page shows up just fine. Have you tried doing that yet?
Although, the problem I now find is trying to change the page(s) URL back from having a .html extension. Apparently, the .html was ‘hard coded’ itself into the page when I customized the permalinks to /%pagename%.html/.
Can anybody out there help us? Anyone? Bueller? 😉
Thanks in advance…
Hi again!
Yay! I figured out what the problem is. Although, identifying the problem has presented me with a brand new problem to solve. I hope someone out there can still help me!
OK, I’m getting a 404 Error for the Checkout, Transaction Results and Your Account Pages because currently the URL is “http://www.heirloomtomatoplants.uni.cc/heirloom-tomato-plants-store/checkout.html”. This is due to something I did when I set up the site. The URL should be, “http://www.heirloomtomatoplants.uni.cc/heirloom-tomato-plants-store/checkout”. The .html extension is causing the “problem”, apparently.
I know this is the problem because when I enter, “http://www.heirloomtomatoplants.uni.cc/heirloom-tomato-plants-store/checkout”, the page comes up fine – as do all the others.
Which lead to the new problem I am having: how do I change the URL to my pages back so they no longer end with a .html extension. FYI, changing the permalinks back to my usual custom (/%postname%/) didn’t fix it.
Anyone? Bueller?
