James Martini archive
Category : Wordpress (2)
It’s been quite a day for Monkeyhouse Zendo:
- Updated the template
- Tied the blog into my twitter feed
- Added entries to the blogroll
- Added an ‘Achievements‘ page
- Cleaned up some of the categories
I think the design is finally at a point that is visually simple enough for me without being utterly bland. It’s functional enough that I can use it.
Left to do:
- Create a stylesheet for the Achievements page
- Figure out why tags and other metadata isn’t showing on posts
- metadata does show up but not in Chrome
- Enable comments
So after migrating the blog to the new host none of the static or archive pages worked. They all resulted in a 404 error and not the expected page or even the customised 404 page.
It turns out that I’d neglected to restore the .htaccess file which sets the mod_rewrite option. I expect you’d also get the same behavior if the permissions were set too strictly.
cat .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /james/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /james/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
