Finally Sorted out the Permalinks problem on Wordpress!
April 21st, 2009 in Permalinks, Search Engine Optimisation by admin
Have finally managed to sort out the permalinks on word press for this blog - the problem was that although WordPress was able to modify the .htaccess file, the url rewriter was being ignored by apache. This is almost certainly down to the super lame httpd default install on this fasthosts server. I fixed the problem by putting the url rewriting code into the “dont’t put anything here” section of the vhosts.conf file and it has fixed the problem nicely. I’m even happier that the old urls work too so no having to add redirects to keep up my existing page rank! Now to press on and get the new version of our mobile slimming site - mobislim v2 - live onto our production environment.
