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 ???

Yes, I've tried that but no luck.
Is the .htaccess file being updated correctly?

You need to ask your hosts for assistance with this.
