Hi all,
I have just installed a new blog for a client. It is in a sub directory of the client's hosting with the domain name pointing to this sub directory. Every time I try to change to the Month & Name permalink structure, I get a 404 error when I click on the About Us page. I have uninstalled all plugins and I haven't even uploaded the theme yet.
There was an .htaccess file generated. I tried deleting it and updating the permlink structure to generated a new file- that didn't work either. Your help would be appreciated- I am stuck.
Here's the site: http://collierheights.org/
thanks!

godaddy is VERY slow in updating whats on the site to whats actually live.
set the permalinks, than wait. Honestly, some people have reported it being as long as 2 hours.
See this:

or this:

Ive experienced this first-hand, btw, though it wasnt 2 hours, more like 15-20 mins. Messing with them though -- wont make it faster, just slower.

Whoa! That's a new one for me.
I just changed the permalink structure. Now it's time to feed the cats and start supper, so this Grasshopper will acquire some patience!
thank you!
Suzy

Indeed they are! I went off and had supper- came back and viola! Happy permalinks!
A lot of clients use Godaddy; this is one less thing to worry about.
thank you!

Glad to see this was resolved! Just wanted to mention that there used to be a delay with .htaccess caching on Go Daddy. We recently implemented a change that now picks up this file immediately.
