I'v just setup wordpress on http://www.latestrelease.net But when trying to use my post title as my link title i'm getting a 404 error (its not even creating the directory such as (http://www.latestrelease.net/this-is-my-post/) I'v read its to do with .htaccess or chmod but don't know anything about either of these 2. Can anyone shed some light or help with the solution to my problem? Thanks
Open your .htaccess file and put this into it: # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress Code (markup):
Add this to the top of your .htaccess RewriteEngine On In case mod_rewrite isn't turned on by default. Wordpress won't create directories, it'll use what's in your .htaccess to rewrite the url's on the fly.
