Support Forum

Hi Steve,

I just heard back from the hosting provider.  I had asked them for help with this issue.  Here's what they said:

===

Its seems an issue with the plugin Simple:Press. It won't work with current permlink structure. I have now changed to default permlink structure from wordpress admin and now the forum is working from url http://wilmington.crimeboard.o.....age_id=253. Please check and confirm.

The modrewrite is already enabled with your server. I can't find any issue with your server now.
So please contact wordpress support team simple press and check the issue with them.

After I received that, I did check and can confirm that the forum is accessible with the default permalink structure.  That's good, but I'm really hoping that I'll be able to take advantage of mod_rewrite to enable a more descriptive permalink structure.

I think the reason you still saw the index.php/ in the URL is that it was leftover from importing the site from the old server.  I do see index.php in the .htaccess file:

# 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

Should I edit or delete the .htaccess to get rid of the index.php reference?  Then try setting month & name permalink again?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Steve,

Thanks.  I'm learning a lot in this process.

I found that after the import of the database into the new site, there were still references to the old site's URLs and directory paths.

I found a very helpful article on how to move a WordPress site to a new domain here:

I'm currently in process of cleaning up the database mess.  I'm sure WordPress and SimplePress will be much happier with a correct database. I'll then update permalinks and integration and let you know what happens.

I'm still learning the ins and outs of WHM and cPanel, but getting there.  You should still have access with the credentials I PMed you earlier.  I suggest you wait for the dust to settle before you access the site.  I'll post back when the database is cleaned up.
