   I change the permalink form default http://website.com/blog/?p=123 to /%category%/postname%/, then all the links don't work. Even the post still show on the home page. But if you click each post like, the page will not load.

   What did I miss?

   Thanks a lot for the help!

   A link to the site might help, but...

   When you updated your Permalink settings, did you see a message about .htaccess rules? If WordPress can't update the file because the permissions aren't right, it should tell you what you need to insert.

   The most likely cause is that the file hasn't been updated.

   Les:

   Went to support page http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks . Then found there is no .htaccess file. Then I create a file exactly as this:

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

   But it still doesn't work. I didn't see any message after the permalink update other than "Permalink structure updated." message on the top of the page.

   Can you contiune help me?

   Thanks!

   Andy

   Next thing - check with your host that mod_rewrite is actually enabled. They should be able to tell you.

   Talked with the host, they said mod_rewrite was enabled. What should I check into next?

   Thanks again!
