Sorry, no posts matched your criteria - database problem?

Hi all,

The main page and the archive and category pages of our website (www.teu.ac.nz) are working fine but all the individual pages and posts are not. Where the content should be they are just showing:

"Sorry, no posts matched your criteria."

Can anyone help get our website up and running again? I assume it is a problem with the database not being able to find the info it needs - but then again, I'm no expert.

I am wondering if it is related to the BBPress forum that I installed on the same database, at about the same time as things went wrong - www.teu.ac.nz/forum. That is not working either with posts not showing a date or user info.

I got our host to restore the database using a backup of the database from early last week, but it has not fixed the problem.

  Fixed it Stephen, the issue was actually pretty simple.
  
  Under General Settings I simply changed both your WP and Blog address to http://www.teu.ac.nz and it's working!
  
  Hope that helps!

  Is it fixed? I still can't see any of the missing psots and pages. Am I doing something wrong? - I've refreshed the browser.

  Also, just FYI, using the /%postname%/ in your permalinks doesn't work on your server by default because your server is running on Windows.

It happens sometimes that WordPress 'forgets' rewrite rules used for permalinks, and that can cause such problem (or maybe rules are invalid). Try to save only permalinks settings (Settings->Permalink) again.

  Thanks Milan, I've tried this several times over the last week, but to no avail.
