What would you like to know ?

i wanted to do this over icq but i can post the question here.

i want to change my permalink structure from default to custom (%postname%) because it's better for SEO and it's required for WP Super Cache to function properly.

i'm using Dean's plugin but the problem is, when i change the structure i get problems with wp super cache. when the structure is custom, the categories don't work and it redirects from the member's area to the tour. this is strange because there's nothing in the htaccess that would redirect to the tour.

i think it has something to do with my htaccess file but i'm not 100%. i don't like messing with it too much because it's my bread and butter site.

uninstall it, create your permalink structure, then re-install again. Be sure to update the .htaccess file. That should work, otherwise you may have some trouble with .htaccess being re-written by another application or something like that, hard to say

k, thanks...i'll try that. it's definately an issue with super cache/htaccess because everything works fine when i disable the plugin.

it could be a permission problem with htaccess. it's normally set to 644 and i set it to 666 when making changes.

btw, try the default theme and see if it makes a difference

Switch to W3 Total Cache

If Harvey's solution doesn't work, and all else fails....

1. In your Wordpress plugins admin page disable the WP Super cache plugin and then click on Delete. Log out of WP admin. Close your browser.

2. Then log into your site by FTP and delete the "supercache" folders on your server**:

*/wp-content/cache/supercache/
*/wp-content/cache/meta/

and the 2 files

*/wp-content/cache/.htaccess
*/wp-content/cache/wp-cache-*.html <-- There may only be 1 or 2 html files, delete any you see.

** - Backup those 2 folders and 2 files obviously before deleting them via FTP if you need to, they're all small so back up is fast just incase something drastic goes wrong.

3. Open your browser and log back into your WP admin area and set your permlinks again, check they work the way you want them on your site, re-install the WP Super Cache plugin, re-activate it and setup it's options, activate the plugin and it should start caching your new site permlinks fine.
