Permalinks revisited

[Anonymous]

Like the person I am also having a problem with Permalinks. My site is set for a simple custom /%postname% which makes the Events page link as http://www.mysite.com/events However going to this page results in a very uncool 404. The page does exist.

However if I keep the default permalink setting of http://www.mysite.com/?p=xxx then the individual events link to http://www.mysite.com/?page_id=x&event_id=y which is really quite worthless for SEO purposes.

Any ideas ?

Have you checked your settings? Does the setting “Events page” point to an existing page? Have you read http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/#issues? Which version are you using?

using WP 3.0.1 and Events-manager-extended 3.0.5

The Events page is pointing to a page created by the plugin called Events. What settings specifically should I be checking ? I do not see anything in the plugin settings regarding the way it builds the links.

Thank you.

Well, I just tried it here and it works just fine. Did you check your apache config and logs? This is what I have in my apache config concerning wordpress permalinks:

<Directory “/var/www/html/wordpress”>

AllowOverride All

Options FollowSymLinks

</Directory>

And wordpress creates the file /var/www/html/wordpress/.htaccess:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /wordpress/

RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Please post your .htaccess and relevant apache configs …
