   on my blog http://www.babcockresidentialgroup.com i recently changed to pretty permalinks with the custom structure %category%/%postname%

   now my post titles do not link and i get a 404. Is there a step i missed or have to relink something?

   thanks.

   Be sure your changes got saved to htaccess. Reset permalinks to default and then set them to what you want, and check to see the your htacess file is writable and that the changes were saved.

   Thanks, i went back to default, saved, then went back to custom structure. Seems to work now. not sure what i did differently.

   my htaccess has:

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   does that match what what i should have with custom permalink structure %category%/%postnam% ?

   i would assume so since its functional. Just trying to understand why it works. Anyway, thanks a lot!

   Good that it works now. That rewrite structure is correct.

   You might want to use FTP to go to your server and set the permissions on the htaccess file to 644 so it doesn't get mistakenly changed again.
