    Hi

    Started a new blog on WP 3.1.

    I am having a problem with permalinks. I have set a custom /%postname%/ in permalink settings, my WP could not write to the .htaccess file so I copy.pasted the code produced

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

    I can open my blog home page but get a 404 error when clicking to read the post. The address bar reads https://wwww.mydomain/blog/blogtitle/

    From the dashboard when editing the post under the title I have a permalink displayed Permalink: https://mydomain/blog/blog title/ but i the address bar is https://mydomain/blog/wp-admin/post.php?post=35&action=edit

    When I click view post in the edit section I get a new screen with a not found error with this in the address bar
    https://www.mydomain/blog/blogtitle/

    I have checked my .htaccess file in the wp-admin folder and it has the code written to it, I don’t know if its relevent but the default file setting is 755, the default setting on the wp-admin folder has no number just 3 x’s (xxx) the default setting for my blog folder is 755.

    I do have Yoast SEO plugin.

    Apologies if I have over done the info, just really stuck and want to help you help me.

    Many thanks

    i am trying to set custom permalinks /&postname%/ and because for some reason it could not create or write to it so I had to insert one I was told that wp-admin is the place to put it

    No! You were told to add the .htaccess file to your blog’s folder.

    Have you created your .htaccess file and placed it within your /blog directory?

    You need to add the file to the same folder as your wp-config.php file. Not the wp-admin folder.
