Homepage gets 404 error when pretty permalinks are used

asked 9 years ago

Hello,

So I’ve been trying to use custom permalinks so that it’s just the post name that shows up. I contacted my host and they added the web.config file which helped the situation as now the pretty permalinks work for individual posts/page. However, whenever I try to go back to the homepage or use the main domain, I get a 404 again.

My host (godaddy) informed me this is a problem with the theme.

If you are used WP then you will try "/%category%/%postname%/%post_id%"

Hi,
At the moment, can’t Access WordPress Admin After Changing URL. Here is the Fix.
the solution is simple, all you have to do is to add the following code at the end of your ”wp-config.php” file.

define('WP_HOME','http://radiyahchowdhury.com/');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://radiyahchowdhury.com/');

Sorry about that.
You can send me your FTP, I will help you resolve it.

you have problem in your .htaccess so you will add code into your file as below.

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

# END WordPress

and try it.

Regards

regarding my problem – i did changes to kses.php, rewrite.php and then .htaccess.. I have reset all of them, but still same problem. Pages work, category page shows the post, home page shows the posts, but single post in atahualpa won’t show. I tried the classic theme, deactivate all the plugins, won’t work. If I put default option for permalinks /?p=123, it works. Pretty permalinks wont work at all. Funny thing is it works for pages all the time. I have multiple WP in one machine, where ever I tried to make those changes last week, they are all broke, it was working for the past 1 year. Any help would be appreciated.
