    I am running Geodirectory on localhost, I installed it and it was working okay, then on listings I found myself getting a 404 error (also on category pages).

    Since I’d only just installed it I installed WP and GD to another folder with a new database, the same thing happens.

    My permalinks appear to be set correctly as per the installation guide. What else could be going wrong?

    Hi there,

    Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell without seeing the live site and doing some inspecting. Could you please make sure that you’ve updated all GD plugins to the latest version? If not, upload your site to a staging URL and also, please renew your support status if you need further assistance.

    Thanks!

    Just for clarification, this is regarding a site that uses only the core plugin.

    Update:

    I have found that if I restore WordPress permalinks to “plain” – it works okay.

    But stops working again when I choose to do “post name,” as suggested in the GD guide.

    Is there something extra I need to do after changing the permalink type to post name?

    Hi there,

    Just tested the WP login credentials and it’s invalid. Could you please double check?

    Thanks!

    On the live site it works fine, but on localhost it will only work if I set permalinks to “plain” – GD docs say this should be set to “post name”, but with post name it doesn’t work.

    What will happen if I just leave permalinks as plain?

    Hi there,

    It has to be set as “postname”. Could you please check if you’ve assigned a category on a listing?

    Thanks!

    Hey Kor

    Yes, definitely assigned a category to the place. I just tried adding a new category and using that, and unchecking the ‘set category as default category’ — neither of these helped.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, we won’t able to help much without seeing the backend and doing some inspecting and I hope you understand. Could you try resaving the permalinks and see if it helps?

    Thanks!

    Your localhost server may have different settings.

    We can’t help much with your local.
