  • why is it if I choose any other permalink the links result in a page not found error. But if select default as my permalink this works fine? is there something i am not getting right? Thank you for your time and help and sorry for being troublesome.

  • Are you updating them manually or through the admin interface?
    If through admin, the .htaccess file must be chmod 666 to be saved (always change back to 644 when done).
    Are you sure you have an .htaccess file?

    Thank you Samboll! I will check if I have an htaccess file and read the links you have gven and will let you know how i get on. The thing is I have not got a clue what chmod 666 is, so I guess I need to familiriase with WP technology.
    Will come back to you, thank you for helping me out and have a good day!

    Hi Samboll,

    I have a .htaccess file and I changed the permissions from 644 to 666 still no luck. I dont know if you can think of anything else. Do you know of where I can get someone to actually get into my account and correct this for me. I have spent hours on end, tried various options and still the only permalinks which work are the default ones.
    I would really appreciate your guidance on this. thank you.
