UPDATE! multisite 404 caused by register_post/tax... WordPress

SOLVED

----UPDATE---

After painstaking process of elimination via dropping databases and re uploading a 100 times whilst removing functions one by one, I think I found the f**ker causing the problem.

For you newbies It is a very strange issue with my multisite where I get 404 on pages.

My multisite runs absolutely fine, until randomly (possibly because of updating a setting), I get 404 errors on all pages.

I can force create the 404 error by updating the reading settings to a static page...

I can choose any template, or then try to revert "Your Latest Posts" on this page, and the 404 occurs.

If you switch to another theme, the 404 error is carried over, but weirdly you just get the home page for every single page - so the problem must be in the db.

The only way I get rid of the 404 error is by reseting my database to a previous version before the 404 error has occurred

This is how i found what I think is causing it...

1. I deleted my functions.php contents. And updated my reading settings. The site works fine! No 404 error.

2. I re added my functions.php contents. Still no error.

3. I updated my reading settings to force create the error - and yes, I got the 404.

4. I reset my database, and 404 has gone.

5. I deleted all my function contents, added them one by one, refreshing my website each time. I did NOT get a 404, site works fine.

6. I deleted all my functions again, added them one by one, but each time I added one, I updated my reading settings, and when I add the function below, I got the 404, see below what is causing it...

// REGISTER POST TYPE INDIVIDUALS register_post_type( 'individual',array( 'label' => 'Individuals', 'description' => '', 'public' => true, 'show_ui' => true, 'show_in_menu' => true, 'capability_type' => 'post', 'hierarchical' => false, 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => '' ), 'query_var' => true, 'exclude_from_search' => false, 'supports' => array( 'title','editor','excerpt','trackbacks','custom-fields','comments','revisions','thumbnail','author','page-attributes' ), 'taxonomies' => array( 'type' ), 'labels' => array ( 'name' => 'Individuals', 'singular_name' => 'Individual', 'menu_name' => 'Individuals', 'add_new' => 'Add Individual', 'add_new_item' => 'Add New Individual', 'edit' => 'Edit', 'edit_item' => 'Edit Individual', 'new_item' => 'New Individual', 'view' => 'View Individual', 'view_item' => 'View Individual', 'search_items' => 'Search Individuals', 'not_found' => 'No Individuals Found', 'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Individuals Found in Trash', 'parent' => 'Parent Individual' ), 'menu_icon' => get_bloginfo('template_url').'/images/menu_icon.png' ) ); register_taxonomy('individual-group',array ( 0 => 'individual', ),array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Group Number','show_ui' => true,'query_var' => true,'rewrite' => array('slug' => ''),'singular_label' => 'Group Number') ); register_taxonomy('individual-role',array ( 0 => 'individual', ),array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Role','show_ui' => true,'query_var' => true,'rewrite' => array('slug' => ''),'singular_label' => 'Role') ); register_taxonomy('individual-territory',array ( 0 => 'individual', ),array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Territory','show_ui' => true,'query_var' => true,'rewrite' => array('slug' => ''),'singular_label' => 'Territory') );

How can this be fixed, need urgent help please?

Thanks

----ORIGINAL QUESTION---

Hello,

I am having a problem using a Page as a static front page on my multisite.

On my multi site ID 1 I have set up the settings below...

[[LINK href="http://i.imgur.com/RRqBU1m.png"]]http://i.imgur.com/RRqBU1m.png[[/LINK]]

So my home page is using the welcome page.

The welcome page works, but all my other pages then return 404.

If I turn this option off then the site is back to normal.

With problem still running, I've deleted all plugins, emptied my entire functions php, deleted most of the contents of my theme, and the problem does not go away.

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L]

My ,htaccess is definitely being read too

Can any one help.
Thanks
