Techie Tips: Error 404 - Not Found Encountered After Upgrading to Wordpress 2.6
Filed Under (All About Blogging, Techie Tips) by admin on July 29, 2008

I am one of the bloggers who excitedly upgraded to Wordpress 2.6  a day after its release. But to my disappointment, I encountered this 404 - Not Found error upon accessing my individual posts.

This made me stay to the older version until today. Luckily I’ve found the solution and I’m proud to say that I’m now using the latest version of Wordpress!

What happened?

The problem turns out to be on my permalinks. My permalinks used to be of PATHINFO type, which inserted  “index.php” before the actual permalink (http://www.techiegirl.info/index.php/id/post-name/)

What I did was  changed my permalinks to remove the ‘index.php’ part. I did that by modifying my .htaccess file, adding the following code.


# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

It is good that you found out why you were getting the 404 error.

I am always cautious about upgrades to newer version until I know it is stable. I am still on an older version of WP for that reason.
