Why can’t I activate my Customize Permalink Structure on Wordpress? Everytime I do this it gives me an error message… Please can someone help me solve this problem..
You probably need to set your .htaccess permisions to 777 or cut and paste the code they provide at the bottom into that file
open your ftp with a program like smartftp or something similar, right click on the .htacces file and press chmod, then tick all the boxes or just fill in the number 777! And it's done!
If you don't want to mess with permissions (although its good to learn) you can run the permalinks, get the error and scroll down. There will be cut and paste code Find .htaccess in your root directory (public_html) and add that using notepad or any html editor If you definately don't have that file, open a new file in notepad - cut and paste the code - and save it as .htaccess Make sure it has the . before it If all else fails, PM me and I can do it for you Cheers
There are only two files on my root directory and those are to my sites “ mysite.com and othersite.comâ€. In this case what must I do?
maybe it's me, but I don't think you should set it 777 because of security issues. shouldn't it be 775?
You set it to 777, run the permalinks script, then set it back to 664 moments later Open the folder for the site you are trying to change, that should then be the root
If you definately don't have that file, open a new file in notepad - cut and paste the code - and save it as .htaccess Make sure it has the . before it
