    I changed the Permalinks in WordPress and now no links work just say that the Url is not there.

    I guess this an easy thing to fix?

    the last one was %post_id% i think the look like this thedebtweblog.com/?p=123

    now i use

    http://www.deanlee.cn/wordpress/permalinks-migration-plugin/

    and i put old as

    %post_id%

    Can this be the problem

    Using only %postname%
    If you use postname as the only element in your permalinks to create a structure such as example.com/post-title, the rewrite rules may make it impossible to access pages such as your stylesheet (which has a similar format) or the /wp-admin/ folder [is this true in WordPress 2.0+ versions?]. It's best to include some numeric data (e.g. the post ID or date) in the permalink to prevent this from happening. Additionally, WordPress v1.2.x requires the use of a date structure in order for some features, such as the calendar, to function properly. /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ is always a good start.

    i have tried to use that plug-in before on 2.2 version, what I have done is just re-save the setting on the plug-in, or reactivate.
    never had an issue with this, i have un-installed the plug-in and do the rewrite rule instead

    can you deactivate the plug-in? the only problem would be your old permalink will not be redirected to the new permalink but the new permalink will work, but it would be better than having a url that is not working. new permalink will still be indexed by G.

    just change your permalinks to "default" - all your links will work again.
    It's a major problem with the latest release of WPMU, I just found out myself. Had the exact same problem. Also, this affects the wpg2 plug.
    I simply now am at a point to delete my WPMU installation and use BlogHoster.
    I spent an entire week to tweak WPMU, only to find out that it is a never ending thing. Who has the time for that.
    Just go tho any of the forums [wp,wpmu] and you can read hundreds of people screaming about the same problems.

    it is not WPMU, on your cpanel, open file manager, normally it will prompt you on where to go, there is a checkbox below that say's Show hidden files, check that and go, you find you .htaccess,
    now edit that .htaccess and place this
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    Code (markup):
