Issue with Remove slug post type error plugin WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello I have the plugin "Remove Slug Custom post type error" that removes the 'portfolio-view' from myurl.com/portfolo-view/postname
When I activate it it causes this error:
Remove Slug Custom post type error!
.htaccess is not writable, please add following lines to complete your installation:
RewriteRule ^/(.+)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.+)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^slide-view/(.+)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^portfolio-view/(.+)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.+)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
I have had 3 different people look at it but can't seem to fix it. The issue is that the existing links change correctly to myurl.com/postname but new portfolio posts I create 404 and can only be reached by going to myurl.com/porfolio-view/postname. But the existing posts are working corrrectly at myurl.com/postname.
This is a problem I have been working on for days and no-one seems to be able to figure out why it 404's new listings.
Another strange thing is that the htaccess file does in fact contain the code that the plugin is saying is the issue, in fact that is all the plugin is actually doing is adding this line of code:
The htaccess file:
# BEGIN REMOVE SLUG CUSTOM POST TYPE RULES
RewriteRule ^safecss/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^slide/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^portfolio/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
# END REMOVE SLUG CUSTOM POST TYPE RULES
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I have put the entire suggested code in the htaccess and have the same issue.

Didn't work.
Hardeep Singh answers:
I see difference in the .htaccess that is on top (in the error) and actual .htaccess printer below.
Please change:
RewriteRule ^portfolio/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
to
RewriteRule ^portfolio-view/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
And let me know the status now.
liv comments:
still 404s.
Hardeep Singh comments:
Please share a screen shot of edit post for a portfolio item.
One for new and one for existing.
I want to see the permalinks generated.
liv comments:
New post that 404s.
