Thanks for replying. I’m intending to use the fancy box plugin for displaying my photos. But I still need to show just the gallery, and not the images on the page as well.

Shane G. you are a superstar!

Added your code into .htaccess and it worked a treat. Posts and pages now have “pretty” URLs, and I still have access to the Permalinks settings page.

Thank you so much!

Not sure what the code is doing though – any chance of a quick walkthrough?

Sorted!

Thanks for the advice alism – I deactivated all my plugins, and lo and behold, I could access my Permalinks config screen again. So I reset the permalinks to default and my site was up and running again. I’ve since reactivated all the plugins again and all seems fine.

Unfortunately, I didn’t take the scientific approach and deactivate the plugins one by one, so I don’t know which one was causing the conflict.

Does make me wary of using Permalinks again though…..

Thanks also to esmi for your initial suggestion.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the tips – have cleared cache (Firefox 3.5.5) and tried IE8, but still no joy.

Not sure about .htaccess file – what is it used for and what would deleting it do?

OK, I’ve done that bit – doesn’t seem to have made any difference….
