Hi, I need a little help. I have changed the permalinks on my WP blog, and since the files on the server are not writeable it says I can upload a file called .htaccess and it will allow me to re-write the files. But, I am not sure what kind of file to upload and what folder to upload it to. Can anyone give me a little help? Thanks!
There would be the file .htacess already present in most possibility. Just chmod that file to 666 from the default 644 using a FTP program or from inside file manager. If it is not there, just open notepad on your computer and then save a blank notepad as .htaccess while selecting "all files" .. and upload that to your hosting folder using FTP and chmod it to 666 .. or an easier way is to create a .htaccess from file manager instead if you are using cPanel, DA, Plesk etc.
Thanks, let me see what I can do with that. Where would the .htaccess file be located? As I have a site and a /blog on the domain as well. Thanks again
yes, that was so easy. I am just too thick to go into cpanel and mess around with some things thinking I am going to explode the server and my site. Thanks again, Cheers!
.htaccess file shoud be on the same directory, where you have installed wordpress. If your wordpress is under yourdomain.com/blog then put it in blog directory.
