The other option is to do what that person in the link above did:

Settings > General > Blog address > change to yourwebsite.com/blog/index.php and save.

According to them that seems to work. If you redo your blog pages you won’t have to use the redirect plugin.

I hope it works out for you.

ok I found an answer:

Not sure what to do…These people had the same problem:

The quick fix is to use the default permalink styling – it won’t be as pretty but will work without htaccess.

yeah whooami is right. If you uploaded everything using ftp then there are bound to be some missing files. There’s usually a log of what wasn’t transferred properly so you can upload files individually with regards to that.

Another way is to look for file sizes, if on your sierver a file reads as 0b – 0 bytes then you need to replace that again.

I’m not sure whether yahoo uses windows or linux on their servers…maybe that’s the problem – windows is a bit more complicated.

What error do you get?

That won’t work unfortunately. It’ll be a blank file. How did you install wordpress?

yeah that’s right, should work, let me know what happens.

You may have an index.html file left over, try deleting that. Don’t delete index.php

I forgot to mention that it could be hidden. So it may not show up. Which ftp program are you using? Maybe there is a way to show hidden files.

However if it isn’t there then you need to open up notepad and paste the code in, with word wrap off.

When you save it, call it .htaccess and where it says save as type select – all files. You can then upload this to your root folder.

ok, you should see it in your root folder – public_html or maybe in www. We can always create a new one if it’s not there.

Have you used ftp?

Yeah as long as you have month and name selected then the code in the grey box will be all that you need.

If you already find some code in the htaccess file once you open it in notepad then you can add it after everything there. It may even be empty in which case you can paste it from the very first line.

It should work out hopefully. Also you may need to ensure that your upload settings in your ftp program are set to ASCII. It may be set as binary at the moment. Once you’ve dragged your edited htaccess file onto your server you can change the setting back to binary.

Two important things:

In notepad when you’re pasting the code make sure word wrap is set to off (Format > Word Wrap).

And of course when you save the file, make sure it doesn’t save as .txt. If it does you should be able to rename it later. But probably best to make sure it stays .htacess

yep that’s right. So the code in the grey box under the permalinks page needs to be copied and pasted into your htaccess file (it will say stuff like rewrite etc). You should be able to do that by downloading the htaccess file using an ftp program and then add the code using notepad.

I see you’ve fixed it ??

lol, did you change the permalink settings? There are 2 other threads with the same problem just below your’s – see if you can relate, it may help ??
