Wordpress 2.5 Permalinks Problems
Apr 5, 2008 Computer, Internet, wordpress
As we all know, wordpress has come out with their latest product aka wordpress 2.5 . Being excited, I upgraded. Little did I know it would cost a lot of traffic LOST!
This is regarding permalinks setting. If before upgrading, your blog has been setup this way;
http://dungun.net/2008/04/05/sample-post/
In 2.5 it will be changed to
http://dungun.net/?p=123
I did not know that and it caused my traffic down to zero. So I changed it back to month/day setting. And what do you know… now permalinks doesn’t work. Just error 404. Now that zero traffic? Makes it 3 days in a roll.
But hey don’t fret. I found a solution to fix it up. All you need to do is create a file called .htaccess .
If you already had it in your wordpress ftp, just chmod it writable 777. If you don’t then create a new notepad. Rename it to new.htaccess and using your ftp program, upload onto your blog directory. Inside, rename new.htaccess into .htaccess . make it writable 777.
your permalinks will work again.
