    Fresh installation. That seemed to work and all the admin pages are active, but most links on the actual site are dead. Poked around and it appears to be a problem with permalinks — if I enter URL with the default ?page=nn syntax, they appear, but BuddyPress complains.

    All conditions mentioned on the Using_Permalinks page hold:

    Apache web server with the mod_rewrite module installed
    In WordPress’s home directory,

    The FollowSymLinks option enabled
    FileInfo directives allowed (e.g. AllowOverride FileInfo or AllowOverride All)
    An .htaccess file (if this file is missing, WordPress will try to create it when you activate “pretty” permalinks)
    If you want WordPress to update the .htaccess file automatically, WordPress will need write access to the file.

    Generated .htaccess file contains:

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

     

    What now?

    Hi Richard,

    Are you saying that you are unable to use pretty permalinks on your WordPress site? Sometimes the issue resolves itself by resaving your permalinks under “Settings > Permalinks” in the WP admin dashboard.

    Also, you say you have the FollowSymLinks option enabled in Apache. Sometimes you may have to add it to the top of the .htaccess file.

    Try adding this to the top of your .htaccess:
    Options +FollowSymLinks

    If that fails, you can try posting on the wordpress.org support forums to ask about your permalink issues.

CBOX has its roots in the CUNY Academic Commons, which in turn was made possible through funding from The City University of New York itself.
