Blog preview problem

When I write a blog post and save it as a draft and then try to preview the post, the preview page isn't loading properly. The post is completely missing. I've narrowed it down to something to do with htaccess - i.e. when I remove htaccess it works fine.

I renamed my blog and followed the 'Clean urls' docs. Everything works apart from preview. My htaccess looks like this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>  
    RewriteEngine on  
    RewriteRule ^blockchain-bugle/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ /blockchain-bugle/post.php?s=$1 [L]
</IfModule>

It looks like you need to add the preview rewrite as well:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>  
    RewriteEngine on  
    RewriteRule ^blockchain-bugle/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)/preview$ /blockchain-bugle/post.php?s=$1&preview=all [L]
    RewriteRule ^blockchain-bugle/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ /blockchain-bugle/post.php?s=$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I think thats done the trick. Thank you Shane :)

  • One slight issue I still have with it though - the post is thee one or two files aren't loading properly on the preview page. The header image for example. The file path its looking for is incorrect. My 'Blockchain-bugle' blog is in a seperate folder. Although my filepath should be '../img/header-img.jpg', in preview its looking for 'blockchain-bugle/img/header-img.jpg'.

Make sure your paths are root-relative:
