Hello, I have started developing www.sharesandstocks.info (currently only a test post) and I have it sitting on a free hosting site right now as there is no traffic. The problem is none of my links work, they all lead to hosting companies 404 error page. Is this because I have the permissions set wrong on one of the files. I suspect maybe one of the files should be writable and is not so the new pages are not being created. Thanks in advance!
Yeah if your .htaccess file is not writable, the URL rewrite scheme that you're asking WordPress to use will lead to dead ends. That's the likely problem - check the permissions for .htaccess.
Thanks for taking the time to post! I have check out the .htpaccess file in the public_html folder and changed the permissions. No luck. Can you think of any other files I should check? Thanks again!
That's the only one that should matter. Try going into the permalink options and setting the options again as you have them. Now that .htaccess is writable, you need to get wordpress to write the mod_rewrite rules into it (which it couldn't do before).
