I think I fixed it....

The issue was new posts on the HOME blog, and Categories in the right hand list of HOME where throwing up a 404 when clicked.

I renamed the sample.htaccess file to .htaccess and it works now. I'm not sure what it did but those links now produce the proper page.

An interesting side note, when I renamed that file I can no longer see it in my server home directory. I guess they hide those files on ehost.com hosting.

Hopefully this post will help someone else experiencing a similar issue.

Have a great day

Just curious.... why are some posts marked "Community" and others are marked "Public" In a support forum wouldn't you want all posts to be public to help folks find fixes fast?

Hi @nemo656,

Welcome to the forums.

Just curious.... why are some posts marked "Community" and others are marked "Public" In a support forum wouldn't you want all posts to be public to help folks find fixes fast?

Two main reasons:

1. Spam control.
2. A first barrier between information disclosure and the wild internet. Our users usually share screenshots, debug info, etc, so we can evaluate how potentially dangerous could be to publicly publish that info before to actually do it.

However, on "Community" status, all the logged in users can read the posts/comments and send their answers.

Thank you for the great explanation. I now understand.

Hey nemo656, thank you!! I am a newbie, and flying by the seat of my pants on this blog launch on my own site, doing it myself with rudimentary knowledge. And your solution worked awesome. I can now publish my posts and not get the 404 error.

Thank you!!
