    Hey guys

    I need some help with changing my permalink structure for my wordpress blog. When I changed the structure from the default to the post-name, it tells me to update the .htaccess? I don't know how or what to update it with? When I click on a post it says file not found.....


    Any help much appreciated...

    I guess you're familiar with FTP and permissions.
    Login to your hosting account through FTP, goto the directory where the blog is installed (maybe public_html if installed at root), change permissions of the .htaccess file to 666 and then try to update/save your permalink structure from wordpress.

    If the .htaccess file doesn't exist, upload/create an empty file of that name and follow the process above.
