[Resolved]Some permalinks work, but some not.
When I use the buildin permalinks rule “/year/month/day/title”, some links don’t work. Click the link, it said “404 Not Found”.
Other permalinks format, like “?=messy”, “/id/title” work fine.
It’s so strange, any ideas? Thanks.

Is this on a live site somewhere? If so, can you post some example links that are not working.

Re: [Resolved]Some permalinks work, but some not.
I just installed TXP and have been working with it seriously only recently. My permalinks aren’t working either. Check them out at http://www.littletinyfish.com and let me know if there is something I’m doing wrong.
I suspect it might have to do with the permissions I’ve put on my directories, but apart from creating them all and setting the permissions all myself, I’m not seeing a way to keep the standard at 0777.

Re: [Resolved]Some permalinks work, but some not.
I setup apache2 on my desktop, so…
One of brokan links is: http://localhost/blog/2007/09/19/say-bye-to-flickr.html
No matter what url title is, even change to “asdf”, this post’s permalink still don’t work.
And only with “/year/month/day/title” permalinks format.
To littletinyfish:
You should check mod_rewrite of Apache, make sure it loaded.

Are you using gbp_permanent_links? You’d better ask in the plugin thread then.

Re: [Resolved]Some permalinks work, but some not.
No, “/year/month/day/title” is buildin format.
BTW, I still don’t know how to make a permalinks rule like “/year/month/title-like-this.html”.
Thanks for urs reply.

Re: [Resolved]Some permalinks work, but some not.
The /year/month/day/title permanent link mode should give you this url: http://localhost/blog/2007/09/19/say-bye-to-flickr. It doesn’t add .html, that’s why I thought you were using that plugin.
If you insist on adding .html to your URLs, you’d better have a look at gbp_permanent_links, it’s possible that the plugin can do this (but I’m not sure).

If you set your permanent link mode to messy, it will work. http://www.littletinyfish.com/article/4/the-struggle-continues doesn’t work, but http://www.littletinyfish.com/index.php?id=4 does.
What do diagnostics say?

Re: [Resolved]Some permalinks work, but some not.
I set post’s url title as “say-bye-to-flickr.html”, so it show as like that.
With gbp_permanent_links, I can build a rule like “/year/month/title”, but this plugin will remove “.” (dot) in url title.

Re: [Resolved]Some permalinks work, but some not.
Ah, I see. I never knew that was possible, but it seems to work fine. Though I don’t understand why you would want the .html extension…
When you say ‘some permlinks work, some don’t’, can you give a couple of examples that work and also a couple of examples that don’t work? I suppose you won’t have two articles on the same date with the same title, do you?
And did you think of disabling gbp_permanent_links (otherwise it might interfere)?

Re: [Resolved]Some permalinks work, but some not.
Because I’m moving from Blogger, so.
Yes, posts’ title are all unique.
And as I said before, even change the url title to “asdf”, specific permalink still don’t work, so I think it have no connention what title is.
My TXP work on my desktop now, maybe I should reinstall apache2?…

Thanks, but I didn’t enable gbp_permanent_links.

Re: [Resolved]Some permalinks work, but some not.
If it is your intention to keep the same URLs as you had in Blogger, I’m pretty sure there must be a way to redirect old URLs to new ones using rewrite rules or redirects in .htaccess. I’m not very good at it, but someone else might be able to help you out with this, if you can provide an example of an old URL and a new one.
Otherwise can you set Production status to Debugging and post a tag trace of the page that contains the (working and not working) permlinks?
