    I have Geo directory Version 1.5.1 installed and was just installed Google XML Sitemaps when I went to check the links I noticed that not of the links work, they all generate a 404.

    When I do a search it finds the adverts and shows them, also the newly added ones in the side column but when I click on them its a 404 – don’t want to add any more adverts until I can get this resolved.

    I do notice that there is an entry in the permalinks custom structure that is /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    I never added this.

    I have attached a screen dump of geo’s permalinks form and wp’s

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Dave

    Please change the permalinks to “postname” and let us know.

    Thanks,

    I see what is happening: the url is

    http://xxxxxx.com/index.php/kennel/united-kingdom/derbyshire/coxbench/united-kingdom/derbyshire/coxbench/treetops-boarding-kennels-cattery/

    but it should be:

    http://xxxxxx.com/kennel/united-kingdom/derbyshire/coxbench/treetops-boarding-kennels-cattery/

    it has double up on:

    united-kingdom/derbyshire/coxbench/

    why would hat happen and how can I sort it please.

    Hi Dave,

    Usually you only see the index.php value in the url when there is something wrong with your .htaccess file, do you get any warnings on the WP permalinks screen saying it’s not writeable?

    No nothing – it is writeable because I changed it to postname which is what it was before – I also did updates today to the latest wp and plugins.

    here is my htaccess file contents:

    # 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

    I do notice that when I hover of the VIEW advert in the dashboard that the correct url is displayed then the corrupt one replaces it – can anyone help me with this please.

    thanks,

    Hi Dave,

    this is really strange. I’ve disabled all non GD plugins and checked all your settings. Apart from having a fake location : all, Greater London, United Kingdom that you should get rid of, I can’t find anything obvious that could create the duplicate location in the URL for all listings.

    Your htaccess file seems correct.

    Would you mind also providing FTP and phpmyadmin credentials?

    I’ll ask to Stiofan to have a better look. I’m sure he’ll find the issue.

    Thanks

    Hi Dave,

    I have fixed this now, this was a bug with one of our upgrade functions, it was only set to fire in 1.5.0 so if a user upgrades from 1.4.x to 1.5.1 then it fails to fire.

    This will be resolved in the next version.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    Stiofan Hi,

    Thanks – thought I had added 600 adverts and was going to have to start again.

    Appreciate your help,
