This is strange but not for every warriors.

What I did is upgraded to 2.8.0 today and changed theme which works fine.
But the catch is all links on page one (home) just go to 404 error page!@#$!

By the way, my blog is here Ab Exercises and Losing Weight

Thanks in advance for any help.

    Looks like a problem with permalinks - did you change them when you upgraded/changed your theme??

    Delete the .htacess file in /blogs or where ever your WP installation is and then go reset your permalinks. It should write you a new one. Use the same permalink you had, year,month,postname

    If that doesn't work upload an empty .htacess file and set permissions on it to 666 and reset your permalinks.

    It definitely is a permalink problem.

    Log into your hosting account and check out the .htaccess file in the blogs folder

    It should look like this

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /blog/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /blogs/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Make any changes and save it.

    Then log into your wordpress dashboard and make sure that in the general settings you have the right url listed for the site..... i.e. Ab Exercises and Losing Weight
    Save the information.

    Then check you permalink structure you've chosen the day and name option, check that is still highlited and click save.

    That should do it for you.

      I took care of each of the three. I am sorry mate, nothing of it worked:confused: But it works only if I change the permalink setting to default.

        Alevoor,

        At least now it's showing the pages as they are, instead of those dreaded 404 pages.

        I'll have another think and get back to you.

        Cheers,

        Janet

          Of course, I am happy that it is working. Thanks very much for that, Janet.

          And you are welcome.
