   Hello,

   I just updated my site and I want to change the permalinks options away from the default. But when I do this, all my Main Menu links are broken and I get a 404 Error. I've double checked the permalink options in each of the pages and it has changed according to the option I select in the 'Permalink Settings'.

   I've updated the .htaccess as follows:

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

   But still no luck.

   I'm a bit unsure where to go next, all the posts I've read point to the .htaccess file being the problem.

   Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server.

   Thanks Esmi,

   Something strange is happening, I have a test version of my site (on the same server) under a subdomain and when I change the permalink options for the test site, there are no issues.

   The issue is only with the live version of the site. I've had the admin check and Mod_Rewrite is definitely turned on.

   Any other thoughts or workarounds ?

   Regards....

   Have you tried turning off permalinks and turning them ON again ???

   Is the .htaccess file being updated correctly?

   I don't think nginx supports .htaccess see thread here:

   You need to ask your hosts for assistance with this.
