I have changed wordpress to use permalinks for post names. /%postname%/ so that they are in the form wordpress.com/sample-post. The permalinks work great but it messes up the "next" and "previous" buttons. The default permalink structure works great, but whenever I change the permalinks to any other form, the next button link gets changed to wordpress.com/page/2. which doesn't exist... how do I get the buttons to link to the correct place?

It appears this is a bug on wordpresses side, but I can't find any answers to this problem directly.

  • Remove the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> and </IfModule> lines from your .htaccess. If your site breaks, mod_rewrite is off. :)

  • @toscho it appears to be on. Nothing broke when I removed the tags.

I fixed the problem by editing my .htaccess file. I replaced it with the following.

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
