Wordpress Permalinks - advice needed

I have moved my wordpress blog but can not get the permalinks to work.

Previous hosting was set up with permalinks as:

my-blog-name.com/2011/04/20/sample-post/

But new hosting has "index.php" in the middle, e.g.

my-blog-name.com/index.php/2011/04/20/sample-post/

Thus none of my blog links work.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this? i.e. with no "index.php" in the url

.. I have tried using the custom links option but then none of the posts are displayed. The only way posts are displayed is when I use this format my-blog-name.com/2011/04/20/sample-post/?p=123

Thanks

use one plugin,permalink redirect. it automattically redirect old pemalink to new permalink,you can downoad it at wordpress.org

 

Thanks DianRibut

I also found that another way is to edit the .htaccess fil including the following script .. in case anyone else on DP would find this useful

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

 

best way is to edit your htaccess file ..it should work ..

 

When you update the permalinks it automatically changes the .htaccess file.

 

Just use http://www.microkid.net/wordpress/permalinks-moved-permanently/ which is a great plugin. Also, I have found that the structure post id/postname works best
