    Hi,

    its a simple job, I tried to change the permanent links in the dashboard to month and name format. But it didn't work only the default format /?p=id is working. While changing to the other formats it shows 404 not found error. Could you fix it? Expecting a very cheap service..

    Check with your host if they support mod_rewrite

    check your phpinfo() page for mod_rewrite module . If you are on cpanel or any other popular control panel you check that easily, else create a .php file and paste the following code

    upload and and browse and search for mod_rewrite module.


    Let me know if you need assistance with this.

    Best Regards,
    MM
