   Ok I recently changed servers for my website. The old version had all the WP files here:

   http://www.mydomainname.com/wordpress

   So I backed everything up through PHPMyAdmin and reuploaded everything to the new server under here:

   http://www.mydomainname.com/

   The site looks fine. But none of the permalinks work. I updated the Options >> Permalinks >> and added "/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/" for the Structure. Then it WP said to update the .htaccess file. So I did that and then the whole site didn't view. So I removed the .htaccess file and am back to the problem where the permalinks don't work.

   I'm scratching my head on this one...any one have any thoughts?

   Before or after moving did you change the URI values in the database?

   (maybe they are still pointing to the old site?)

   Is mod_rewrite enabled on the new server?

   You can view the site here:

   http://www.encryptdesigns.com

   I just removed the permalink structure and cleared out the .htaccess file and all the links work. But everytime I modify the .htaccess file because of the permalinks then I get errors then :(

   I haven't figured out the permalinks issue yet either so I am just not using any for now...

    Anyone else offer insight before I perhaps start over? I don't know why WP would have such an issue with me moving the site to a new server and moving up everything up a "../"

    I've found that WP will not update the .htaccess information when I change the permalink structure. You may have to change it manually.

    Try removing "wordpress/" from your rewrite rules. My experience with .htaccess is that you have to play around with the slashes, so try different combinations.

    I am having that same issue with another website that I just moved today. Mod Rewrite is enabled, but every time I use ther PermaLink structure I get error 500.

    WP updates the .htaccess file and then nothing works. This is different from the other issue as I am not even changing directory structures :'(

    Anyone?
