Solution to GoTryThis/Wordpress/404 problem

Gary Smith · 10-24-2009, 11:59 PM

I was checking some links on my blog today and realised that when I changed the Wordpress permalink structure it broke GoTryThis. A search revealed a few partial solutions but none of them worked. Here's how I solved the problem on my blog.

I tried to post the solution but the forum threw up some errors when it was trying to parse the code blocks, so I've posted it on my blog instead:

Wow, that's really complex.
Even easier.

Create a subdirectory that all your links use in their path. I usually use /go/
Create an .htaccess file in the directory with the line
REWRITEENGINE OFF

That turns off permalinks for that directory.

You should also add the GTT 404 error page in this .htaccess file
Add this line:
ErrorDocument 404 /gotrythis/gotrythis.php
