Hi
My 404 redirect doesn't seem to be working on my dev site.
Can anyone suggest where I could be going wrong?
The site is here:
http://testing.walkingplaces.co.uk
A bad URL is here
http://testing.walkingplaces.co.uk/walk55
Thanks
Hank

All of your posts returns 404. Example, http://testing.walkingplaces.co.uk/walk-54-at-out-witts-ends/ It seems your site is missing the .htaccess file. Make sure you have it on root directory. A typical .htaccess created by WordPress will be like this,
# BEGIN 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
Yes, sorry about that - I have been playing with .htaccess as I thought that may be the issue - somehow I'd deleted it and not restored it.
I have recreated default file by saving changes in Permalinks options.
The link you mention now works, but the bad link I mention in the OP still doesn't.
Thanks for looking at this and hope you can now help :)
Did you edit 404.php? I see the HTML source instead of the 404 page on http://testing.walkingplaces.co.uk/walk55
No I haven't edited 404.php
I have just set up a new site, on a new database, for the client to begin data entry and that is showing the same symptoms
It also shows the HTML code rather than the expected page display
I now have this site live and the 404 redirect, although it is working to an extent, is not formatting properly.
As you can see from this:
http://www.theramblingbadgers.walkingplaces.co.uk/walks.htm
I have the .htaccess provided by WordPress, checked it and its the same as the one mentioned above.
I have not edited 404.php
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
What permalink structure you have in permalink settings? Do you have .htm there?
