    I noticed that I do not have a htaccess file. Is this the problem?

    If so what do I need to do to get this custom permalink to work? The codex (which I don’t fully understand) states that in previous versions of WP using %postname% was not recommended, but maybe okay for versions after 2.2.

    Also when I created a custom permalink structure was wordpress supposed to create the htaccess file? If this is the case, maybe I have a permission issue that needs resolved first.

    Yes, WP should have created the .htaccess, which you need for permalinks. If it didn’t usually code is recommended to you (in WP) to create your own

    Ok, I do have an .htaccess file. For some reason the ftp client I was using wasn’t displaying it. Below is what’s in it. What do I need to change to use %postname% permalink structure?

    # Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !courses.hardinnorthern.org
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule . – [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
