    ^ title basically says it... my site is www.portablemp3players.info as you can see none of the full story links are SEO friendly with description url's....

    explore preferences in admin panel - there is format of links - in this case WordPress will generate .htaccess file

    Yes, I was told that my hosting doesn't support that, and I was wondering if there was a way in Cpanel to turn it on...

    Okay, I asked my hosting company what I should do.. they said add:

    php_flag
    mod_rewrite on

    To my .htaccess file... when I do I get errors.. here is my .htaccess file:
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    Options -MultiViews

    <IfModule mod_php4.c>
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^dir/(.*) sefriendly.php
    </IfModule>





    Anyone know what's up??

    h-m-m, I had some problems (similar kind) with Joomla, but after "rewritengine On" all work fine, even I never looked into his magic .htaccess and never asked what is it? Simple it works.
