I have uploaded WordPress website to a new server which is working fine. But Permalinks settings are not working. All other pages returning me 404 error.
and below in my .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
please check the apache module rewrite.
in a root wordpress folder insert into index.php phpinfo();
and find this string mod_rewrite. If it`s not, tell it your hoster support
To fix this error one can also try this method:
Open phpmyadmin > wordpress database > wp_options table
Here check first two fields and update option_value with correct WordPress location. After that reload the permalink, hopefully the error might gone
Go to "wp-admin", open settings->permalinks and update the permalink settings, it will update the .htaccess file on your server. Hard refresh your site, now all the links will be work perfectly.
there's a one tiny trick to update all links if you can access admin .
you just go to permalinks options from settings page and save permalinks to default and after saving it you may change again and update. This will work in most cases for me either its SSL based issue or urls mismatch. don't forget to view .htaccess file if you have old server and having multiple rewrites.

I try to migrate my wordpress to new domain.(wordpres version 4.9.7)
The index.page is working, but other pages defined in wp_posts table not working properly.
like:
https://mysite.amazonaws.com/?page_id=622
I got 404 not find error.
I use apache2 with configuration:
<Directory /home/admin/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
The .htaccess file is:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
the page editor part do not present the review page properly.
Anyone know where is the problem and how to fix it?
find the wp_options table, edit siteurl and home entries with the new url.
You can try in following order
Set the permalink to default(Plain ?p=ID) from wp-admin login page (http(s)://site.name/wp-admin/options-permalink.php)
If this works, then set the permalink to your desired format and try again.
Try disabling plugins.
If you domain is changed then you have to update the new website name in wp_options table. Refer to https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
Refresh permalink fist after that.
Go to the WordPress backend where you have all pages and data from there you go inside "tool menu " and import all page and content.
After that
Go to another website where you want to migration
and export file which you import from the first WordPress backend
1st methord:
Go to file manager and you can remove the .htaccess file and again refresh the site URL.
2nd method:
Go to settings->permalinks and click the Save button to rewrite flush. And then hard reload the browser. It'll work hopefully.
3rd method:
Go to settings->permalinks edit your permalinks settings as "Custom Structure"
and edit like this /index.php/%postname%/
I've recently relocated a WordPress site to a new host. I followed the instructions from here and things seemed to go ok. However on the old host the installation was inside a sub-folder (news). On the new host I want it in the public_html folder. All files are up, I have made the appropriate changes to the wp_config file, I have edited the .htaccess file and removed any references to the old path, I have even gone into the wp_options table and made the url changes there.
However for some reason whenever I reference the index.php, it tries to point back to the old sub-folder location. I've looked in the wp-settings, wp-load files etc and for the life of me cannot find where the bad path information is.
I've gone to the wordpress.org site and several other sites, any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: I deleted my wp_config file and the system asked me to setup, so I did. During the setup it recognized that the database was there, etc, and sent me to the login. I was able to login, looked at the settings, etc and they are all as they are supposed to be.
If I go directly to wp-admin or wp-login it lets me log in with no problem. however when I try to go to the site, nothing, however instead of showing the old url, it now shows a blank screen.
Thanks
First of all make sure that your whole database does not contain any references to the old installation otherwise some redirection may be active. For migrating your database nowadays you use the following tool to make sure that also serialized data does not contain any references to the old URL:
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
Can you reach your backend? If only the frontend does not work its probably a permalink problem update your permalinks by going to Settings -> Permalinks -> Save (Update)
Check your index.php and the index.php file from the main directory and also from the subdirectory if there any redirection is active
Do a search (and replace) for the content of all files within your WordPress installation and check for any possible hardcoded redirection
It MUST be one of those problems.
If still no success debug your WordPress installation step-by-step (with echo "reached"; die;) to find out WHEN the redirection is happening - important points to check:
index.php file
wp-config.php file
Action Hook 'init'
Action Hook 'template_redirect'
This might also be helpful: http://rachievee.com/the-wordpress-hooks-firing-sequence/
Check your .htaccess file.
You probably have something that looks like this(notice the subfolder):
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subfolder/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /subfolder/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
When you should actually have something that looks like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
First although neither of the two posted answers solved the problem, they both were instrumental in helping me figure out what was wrong, so I voted each of them up.
Since I could log into the admin area, I knew things were pointing to the correct place. But I was still getting a blank page, well it turns out that somehow in the ftp transfer of the backup site to the server, the 'themes' folder didn't make it. Once I uploaded that folder, things are close to being back to normal.
Again, the advice I received helped me tremendously in troubleshooting this sucker. Thanks
Im running a WordPress site with qTranslate installed.
The URLS are currently displayed as http://domain.com/en/ but i would like to change them to
http://en.domain.com
How do i make this work? qTranslate has a built-in pre-domain mode, which should do exactly what i need. But all it does is change the links (works), when visiting the page i get a 404 error.
In the admin it says "Pre-Path and Pre-Domain mode will only work with mod_rewrite/pretty permalinks. Additional Configuration is needed for Pre-Domain mode!"
I got pre-path working and i think im using pretty permalinks (/%category%/%postname%/), but ive got no idea what kind of 'additional configuration' is needed.
My .htaccess looks like this (i think standard wp output);
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I tried a lot of different things found online, but i mostly get internal server errors or just the 404.
Thanks in advance!
If your default url starts with www (like www.domain.com) then your translated urls will look like en.www.domain.com.
But if you try to login en.domain.com, you may think that your plugin doesn't working.
Before try anything be sure that any subdomains shows your WordPress homepage. With default settings WordPress should not redirect to you anywhere.
Then set your default url without www prefix (for ex. domain.com)
And check the permalink finally
If you fail at any steps, disable all plugins and even change your theme to default one.
You'd have to add wildcard domain setting at your DNS settings for the domain. https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Wildcard_Subdomains
Wildcard domain redirect with WordPress See also this post.
I have just published my site from localhost to online server and there I am experiencing with an internal server error 500 when I hit my website URL http://www.playinkstudio.com
but the admin panel http://www.playinkstudio.com/wp-admin is just working fine.
I have read articles over the internet and checked the .htaccess file which is not there in the root directory.
I have changed the theme to default but nothing happened.
Then I had deactivated the plugins but does not worked.
Copied the refresh files but useless.
Any Idea ?
Did you updated the site and home url's??
There are two places you need to update your WordPress URL when you plan on changing it. They are both located under the General > Settings SubPanel. Update the “WordPress address (URL)” and “Blog address (URL)” values to the new URL for your website.
check the htaccess whether it has correct path
if you have just copy that htaccess there need to be correct the path
Update
may this could help you
[link]http://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-24[/link]
if htaccess is not there create a htaccess file using a text editer having the following code and upload it into wordpress directory.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
please forgive me for being a complete beginner at this, I'd rather not have to try to deal with this myself but as GoDaddy support have not replied after 2 days I'm going to have to. I think my problem is the same as the one above, but I'm not 100% sure, so I'm reposting it, I'm not really confident enough to attempt to try the fixes I've seen here so I need someone to give me baby instructions?
Our original website (www.mwpics.com.au) was built in Dreamweaver etc, recently we created a new website in Wordpress, in a subdomain, then migrated it over to the root folder where it is now operating fine. I also moved the files for the old website into another directory which I called 'old', so they're all still there.
The problem is that I have a subdomain set up - which is still showing as set up in the control panel on godaddy the url is www.mwpics.com.au/clients and it is at www.clients.mwpics.com.au. This directory contains loads of other directories, each of which is password protected by .htaccess files and which our clients access directly (not through the site) to download their finished work. The test one and the one for random clients is www.mwpics.com.au/clients/temp - username and password both temp (the usernames are all the same as the directory names).
Since the WP install to the root directory the /clients extension no longer works (it should bring up an information page which is an .html index page in the directory) and the /clients/name extensions no longer works - it goes back to the wp site with a 'not found' error message. Strangely it does bring up the box for the username and password, but when you enter it it just goes back to the 'not found' message.
Someone told me it was the .htaccess file - so as an experiment, I renamed the .htaccess file in the root directory and then copied the .htaccess file from the old root files into the root directory, eureka! It worked - and also the WP site opened to the home page... but bummer - the /pages in the WP site now no longer worked! But at least I know the source of the problem.
So I switched it back and this is the status quo - I have no idea how to fix this, and with everyone back at work tomorrow, clients are going to want to start downloading their stuff...
Can anyone help me? I'm starting to panic a bit
you only have to exclude the clients subfolder in your wordpress .htaccess - see .htaccess & Wordpress: Exclude folder from RewriteRule for a detailed description
this should work:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/clients.*
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !clients\.yourdomain\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
short: it simply skips the wordpress rewrite rule if the reqest uri starts with /clients or the domain name is clients.yourdomain.com
be aware though, that as soon as you update your wordpress permalink settings, this rule will be overwritten by wordpress ...
Try adding the following at the top of your root directory's .htaccess file, before the WP code block:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# fix rewrite for GoDaddy
Options -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} clients.mwpics.com.au$ [NC,OR] # ignore subdomain
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [NC] # ignore directories
RewriteRule .* - [L]
</IfModule>
