Oh, and Paul.. your question regarding permalinks being set to custom… when I do that, I can’t even load the main page but get infinite redirect error code 30? (i forget the last digit now)
The only way I can test this is to have 2 browsers pointed at the website, one on the site pages and one on dashboard/Setting/Permalinks. I save the changes on permalinks and test in the other window.
It goes into this redirect cycle that I believe has something to do with localhost (my development machine) still appearing here and there even when on the public webserver where localhost is wrong.
Thanks for your help Paul and Brian… here’s my htaccess:
‘
#
# Server root folder www .htaccess
# This file provides server security limiting access to the localhost only.
# Comment next four lines to deactivate. (Allows external access)
#
#Order Deny,Allow
#Deny from all
#Allow from 127.0.0.1
#Allow from ::1
#
# To allow execution of cgi scripts in this directory uncomment next two lines.
#
AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi
Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
#
# Activate this section to use the Private Server Feature!
# Defaults: Username – root; Password – root
# Note AuthUserFile: File path is relative to server root
# To lock server, uncomment the next 4 lines. (A name and password is required)
#
#AuthName “Uniform Server – Server Access”
#AuthType Basic
#AuthUserFile ../../../htpasswd/www/.htpasswd
#Require valid-user
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress

WordPress is 3.3.1, BuddyPress is 1.5.3.1 and Dynamic Widgets is 1.4.2 which is out of date (latest is 1.5) however the list of fixes doesn’t include anything that seems to be related to this problem.
