As do I. A lot. I have seen it just as many times where there is invalid write permissions, hence why it doesnt get update. Again, if there is SUFFICIENT write permissions it can create its own .htaccess. Which is what i said in the first place.
Did you get it fixed? How were they setup before? How old is your blog? How many post are we talking about? Answer these questions an I will tell you how to fix it. If you redirect it as stated it will not work for all indexes depending on age of content. Let me know...BEFORE your break it trying too many things.
Yes Invalid write permissions will lead to the issue. But consider the general scenario. Most of the ppl use fantastico or similar cpanel installers to install wordpress, and such installations do not create htaccess file by default.
Which Server you are using? Linux or Windows? In Linux, only a proper .htaccess file can do it. But, in case of a Windows Server, there's a lot needs to do.
Hi all, I have a Wordpress query that I would appreciate if I can get help with. Basically, I'm trying to set <h1> tags for my posts and <h2> tags for my tags so as to benefit from an seo perspective. I'd also like to edit the footer to add my own name rather than just "powered by Wordpress". Any ideas on how to achieve this, as I've taken a look at the editor function in Appearance, but the code looks pretty daunting actually. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.
