Wordpress Internal Link and Permalink Not Working

by Harsh Agrawal on August 24, 2009

in Wordpress

While working on a wordpress client, the client blog was migrated from Godaddy to hostgator webhosting. After migration Blog homepage was working fine but the internal pages were not working. wordpress-logo.png

Instead of showing any error, it was giving a blank link. I searched into support forum and many users are facing this problem. Problem usually occurs in Two case :

  1. Wordpress blog migration
  2. After upgrading wordpress

Solution to wordpress Blank page problem

The solution is pretty simple.

If you are using the Wp “super cache plugin, make sure you empty the cache by going to Settings > Super cache.

Create a new page from your wordpress admin page.   Publish the page and verify if its loading or not loading. In most of the cases it loads else you need to check with your hosting and with your .htaccess file.

If the new page load successfully, go back to edit pages and delete that page.

Check your blog now and check few internal links. If every thing works fine. ( Buy me a Pizza ) . :-)

This work around worked for me and I hope it will be helpful for others who get into similar problem.

Great post Harsh since I’m sure more people will have this problem. One of my sites recently went totally blank after I updated Wordpress to the latest version. My solution where a bit simply when finally solving it. Just inactivating all the plugins by changing name on the folder and then simply change it back again.

Seems everybody is running to Hostgator. Makes me smile knowing that I made a smart decision to sign up with them right from day 1. Way to go Gator. ;-)
