WordPress.org

   Hello,

   my site http://kupasmiechu.ovh.org is not working after I changed the permalink style in admin panel from default to the "year/month/postname" version.

   Immediately after I clocked the box and hit 'apply' button (or whatever it was called) I got kicked out with a message that the server encountered an internal error (this is what you see under the link now).

   My .htaccess file looks like 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

   Can anybody help? Is there a way to change back the permalinks to default through editing the files on the server as it seems it was the change that caused the site to go down ?

   ftp to site and delete .htaccess
   are you on a linux or windows server?

   I did what you told me - deleted .htaccess and then website was on again. I went to wp-admin and options and tried to changed permalinks back from 'month' to 'default' and again I was hit with the internal error. I realized that my server does not support permalinks so now I want to get back to default but...

   the case is - if I delete .htaccess - whatever I would do it gets created again and site goes down.

   Is there a way to delete .htaccess and change back to default again ?

   deleting .htaccess should be final and revert back to default - don't try resetting them as that is what regenerates the .htaccess

   here review this for better permalinks

   It does not work. Deleting .htaccess does not revert back to default permalinks. I can access the main site at http://kupasmiechu.ovh.org but any look at the post links etc. They all have pretty permalinks and once they are clicked the internal error is back.

   I need to somehow change the permalinks back to default to make it work...
