    I want to change my permalink setup on Wordpress. I tried to do it inside my login panel of wordpress but it says this:

    "If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all."

    I copy the code that is shows but I cant find the htaccess file anywhere in my theme to change it.

    Any help?

    I bet you cant edit the .htaccess file through your wordpress UI. So you should edit it on your wordpress folder file via FTP or Admin Hosting :)

    Are you using cpanel? If you are when you click the filemanager, tick the box which states "Show hidden files (dot files)" (The phrase is something like that). Or try to look for it via ftp. If you really can't see anything then you can just create it via filemanager on your cpanel. Click create new file and name it ".htaccess".

    Hope it helps :)

    Or you can contact you host provider to do it for you.
