Do you know what to do if your Wordpress links to post suddenly broken without you even noticed it? This situation has happened to me several times & the recent one is 3 days ago.

Here’s the easy steps on how to overcome it:

Firstly, don’t be panic & it’s important to stay calm when this problem happens to your Wordpress blog.

Try to remember, do you ever made any recent adjustments to your .htacces file in your Wordpress installation directory that is on the server. Because the main cause of this problem is closely related to your Wordpress permalinks & .htacces write protect permissions.

Whatever it is, straight to the point. Open you favorite ftp program (i’m using Filezilla) & log in to your web hosting directory that is your Worpress installation directory (usually YourRootServer/public html/….

Then find your .htaccess file if there’s one. I’m sure you have one. (if not, create a blank notepad file & upload to your Wordpress installation dir, rename it to .htaccess.) Once you have/found the .htaccess file, just right click over it and choose ‘file attributes’. A pop up dialog will be opened to allow you to change the file attributes for that .htaccess file.

Now noticed that there’s a small ‘text box’ that allow you to enter the value number of the attributes that you want for the particular file. Then, enter ‘666′ (without quotes) into the box. After that click ‘ok’.

For this step, go to admin section of your Wordpress blog. After login, go to ‘options’ tab & select ‘permalinks’ just after that. You’ll see there’s a ‘Common Options’ for the Customize Permalink Structure. Now set the options of permalinks to ‘default’ (usually like this> http://yourblog.com/?p=123).

Then click ‘Update Permalink Structure’ button. After the option was saved, now go & check whether your Wordpress blog functioning properly right now. (I’m sure it is)

Now, the final part of the process. To return back your customize permalinks structure (it’s about SEO right?), once again go to admin panel, choose ‘options’ then ‘permalinks’. Here you goes, now select ‘custom’ permalinks structure from the list of ‘radio buttons’ there. Just fill in the box with your favorite custom permalink structure (i’m always using this: /%category%/%postname%). Then try to refresh your Wordpress blog & now you’re good to go!!!

Feel free to use the Akismet button on your website or blog. I’ve just created it for fun. Because thinking of Akismet is a great plugins for Wordpress. A must have tools for pro bloggers, right?  I’ve released it in six design, just playing around with my photoshop. Doesn’t have much time though… So, use it on your blogs! show your support on Akismet

Actually i’m so worried for the first time i’ve got this error on my wordpress blog: “MySql Server Has Gone Away”. I thought there’s a problem or something wrong with my Wordpress database or my webhosting, but actually it was because a problem that was related with MySql server itself.

I’ve just refer to here and found the actual caused:

“it shows that mysql might time out on your connection.
especially when mysql_connect in php, it actually reuse your old connection when calling mysql_connection (which is alike ms$ connection pooling )”

So, here’s how to fix it: just replace the original wp-db.php with the new one. The file is located@ wp-includes/wp-db.php (just overwrite the existing file).  This is the latest version of the fix. At first, rename the downloaded file to wp-db.php(from wp-db-2.3-fixed.phptxt) After that, you’re good to go!
