Thanks, Shane. So to spell it out for me, the non-coder:

I create a text file and name it “.htaccess”

I add what code/rules to it?

I thought that unix numbered permissions like 644 are only for folders, (someone one another thread said this) is that not true?

Your patience and help is much appreciated.

I had the same problem, and changing back to the default permalinks and changed my Unix permissions for those folders from 755 to 777 seemed to work.

But does anyone know how I can get the permalinks I want? When I made the changed, I got a message that said I should go ‘update the .htaccess file” but I have no idea what that is, or where I could get it. I did a search for .htaccess and went ahead and changed the permissions of the folders for the 4 files that referenced it, but no luck.

Can any of you gorgeous, brilliant people tell me explicitly how to update .htaccess?

I have this same problem. How do I update .htaccess ? Help!
