    Hi there,

    I some to bother you, but I have a problem and i can′t seem to find the answer anywhere.
    After reading a SEO blog i thought i would like to change my permalinks structure to Custom /%postname%/ then i “saved” i the read on the admin site that the htaccess file is not writable so I go and change these settings. after that i cant see anything on the frontpage except from Forbidden 403.
    So i tried going back to the last used permalinks structure and saving and the same error message appears!

    Can anybody help me solve this problem?

    Best regards

  • Try to set it back to the default permalink settings, temporarily, and see if that will work. Certain settings get reset when it goes back to default.

    If it works when set to default then try changing it again to the settings you actually want.

    BTW this is how my htaccess file looks like

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

    # END WordPress

    Is your server’s httpd.conf file set up correctly? It’s the only thing I can think of if your .htaccess is all ok.

    If you have access to your server’s php config, open httpd.conf and replace “AllowOverride None” with “AllowOverride All”

    You’ll need to reboot the server or http.conf for it to take effect.

    This afternoon i also got the similar error where trying to enable permalinks. I just posted a blog describing my solution. hoping helpfull for others.
    wordpress permalinks causes error: 403 Forbidden

    Hello. I have got this same problem. I have researched but I have not found any solution.

    At the beginning my empty htaccess file did not update properly, after changing its permissions, it is updated by WordPress but I got a 403 error and can not access to the blog.

    When WordPress does not update the htaccess file because of file permissions, it tells me to ad this to the file:

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

    I have done this too, but it seems everytime htaccess is modified I can not access to the blog. While the file is blank there is no problem.

    Any ideas?

    Problem solved with this:

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

    problem solved by changing rights on htaccess file as above:

    … i changed the htaccess file permissions (CHMOD) to 644 and then all was perfect ;o)

    choose ‘show hidden files’ in your FTP-client to see .htaccess

    before that i tried to solve the problem by deleting the option_value “/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/”of permalink_structure in wp_options under myphpadmin – without any effect

    many thanks
