Wordpress Permalinks problem

Hi

I change the permalinks in the wordpress to custom Structure, but it doesnt work when i try to click on the page links. Example: When I click on About button, the browser tells me that " This link appears to be broken" http://www.mydoamin.com/about

Does anyone knows how to fix it ?

 

You have to chmod your htaaccess file to 666 or 777, set your permalinks in the wordpress control panel, then then set the htaaccess file back to its regular permissions.

In other words, the htaacess file has to writeable to change the permalink structure.

 

I did all the steps and it doesn't work.

 

chmod .htaccess to 777 before you start the wordpress permalinks changes. then make permalink changes and then re-chmod back to original settings.

 

I changed the .htaccess file to 777 first, then set the permalink to custom structure and saved the setting. After that, I changed the .htaccess file to 644 which is the original setting. Now, I went to created a page and click on the link and got "HTTP 404 - File not found" Still doesn't work.

 

try putting this in your htaccess file

RewriteEngine on

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Code (markup):

 

First check the folder which is have htaccess file then change the file permission 777.

 

Test your server whether .htaccess is working and then chmod htaccess file to 777 and after then save your permalink structure.

 

Your apache will need to have AllowOverride All in the <directory> for the site..

 

What custom structure did you use? It should be something like /%postname%/ or /%category%/%postname%/ - some instructions suggest /%category%/%postname%.htm or /%category%/%postname%.php which dont work on all servers.
