I just created another one in the wordpress root. Will it be a problem to have the other one, a level above wordpress? Shall I delete it or leave it?</p> <p>Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly.</p> <p>Is there a search feature on the support forum?</p> <p>Rachel </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/263343#post-1049995 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 13:47:07 +0000 samboll 1049995@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>in file manager it would be 1st file listed in wordpress root.<br /> to do it automatically, you would chmod .htaccess to 666 - save permalinks and chmod back to 644 for security</p> <p>if you don't have an .htaccess file yet<br /> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Creating_and_editing_.28.htaccess.29" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Creating_and_editing_.28.htaccess.29</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/263343#post-1049865 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 06:58:35 +0000 clearstone 1049865@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>To set the settings for permalink, directions say:</p> <blockquote><p> If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.</p></blockquote> <p>I can't find the .htaccess files to figure out how to do the above. Can someone please lead me step by step?</p> <p>Thank you. </p>
