This plugin makes WordPress’ default permalinks behavior work on the Concentric/XO Communications shared hosting platform. It also disables the canonical redirection feature as it causes an endless redirection loop outside of wp-admin. This plugin also appears to resolve an issue with a recent release of WordPress 3.1 and IIS servers.
Description
This plugin ensures the REQUEST_URI variable is set during the initialization of WordPress, allowing permalinks to work correctly.
Installation
The REQUEST_URI variable is not set correctly by the server platform.
This plugin builds each variation of REQUEST_URI by peicing together other available variables.
- Upload the ‘permalink-fix-disable-canonical-redirects-pack’ folder to the ‘wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
- Log into the WordPress dashboard http://example.com/wp-admin and activate the plugin.
- Setup your .htaccess file as described below, this is the most important step.
-
Make sure the .htaccess file is setup properly. The server requires that you convert end of line characters to UNIX format (LF). Be sure to add a hard return after the last directive. See additional-instructions.rtf for a step-by-step.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]- If for some reason you’re using this plugin outside of the Concentric/XO shared hosting enviroment (assuming Apache) use the following .htaccess rules:
`
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
