Blog permalinks suddenly start resulting in 404 errors
-
Hello everyone,
I have a BuddyPress installation here at this URL: http://www.pmasocial.com.
Just today, one of our blogs, which was working just fine before, now seems to have permalink issues. When you click to visit any of the posts, you are redirected to the 404 page.
The affected blog is here: http://fogsforthefuture.pmasocial.com/
Just prior to the first time I noticed the problem, I changed “comment moderation” and “comment registration” both to 1 in the blog settings.
I checked the .htaccess file, and it seems to be intact. I’m totally at a loss here – any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Tom

maybe something funky occured in the settings >> general section and a wrong site url was filled in.. this causes bad permalinks.. you could also try to go to settings >> permalinks and mess around a bit.. weird problem
It was strange. I think I’ve fixed it now, but the disconcerting thing is that I’m not sure why what I did fixed it.
Here’s what I did:
Initially, I just deleted the broken subdomain blog and recreated it with the same title and subdomain as before (after I confirmed that my test subdomain blog worked fine). This failed however; the permalinks were still redirecting to the 404 page.
Then, I checked the database for artefacts after deleting the broken blog. In table wp_bp_user_blogs, there were two records remaining that contained the blog_id of the deleted blog. So I backed up the table and then deleted those entries.
Afterwards, I recreated the blog a second time. Now it seems to be working perfectly. But I don’t know why
