ok…silly me. I just heard back from my server and it seems mod_rewrite is not enabled. Therefore I’m using the following format to get my permalinks working:

/index.php/archive/%postname%/

with category base: /index.php/category

and I’ve also added a php.ini in web root containing the code:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
cgi.force_redirect = 0

according to what I’ve read at WordPress support, that should be all I need. BUT! The permalink structure has been implemented but all the links lead to 404s…

What do I need to do to ensure the links are actually leading to where they need to? visit my site to see my problem. This is really getting to me.

Thanks in advance,
Ama

Yeah, I’ve emailed my server so I’ll just have to see what they say. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the reply niziol, but no luck. I’ve pretty much followed all the advice regarding similar problems on this forum but it sill wont work. Could it be a problem with my server? I’m sure mod_rewrite is enabled because WordPress creates the .htaccess file…

The only other thing I can think of is that my wordpress folder is not the root folder of my website. Should the .htaccess be in the WP folder or in the root folder of my website?

Thanks again.

Hey guys, I’ve had exactly the same problem as you guys (403s when a .htaccess was created). I tried the solution, but its not working for me. I’m a total noob when it comes to wordpress and .htaccess files so I’m not sure if I’ve edited the .htaccess file properly. Here’s what it looks like at the moment (not working):

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

Is that what its meant to look like? Please Help! Cheers
