    Whenever I try to switch from default to custom permalinks on my existing blog, the .htaccess file get rewritten as it should (or so I think it should), and all my prior posts and pages URLs get change to the permalink structure I chose. My problem is there ain’t no links that work. All I get is my home page : every menu, every link get me back to my homepage (which is a static page). What is happening ?

    Just to add some details : the rewritten .htaccess file reads as follow :

    # 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

    Found a solution. Redirected the 404 page to my home page (see Content in Hosting control center). I just don’t understand why it works though.
