   Hi everyone

   I have 4 wordpress blogs set up under one hosting account.

   They are all in sub folders, so:

   root/blog1
   root/blog2 etc

   For some reason, my permalinks keep failing, and I get the standard 404 error (not the 404 in wordpress).

   When I reset the permalinks back to default structure, save changes, then change back to /%postname% once again, then save changes... it works for a little while.

   Then I start getting standard 404 errors again.

   How do I fix this problem?

   Here is my .htaccess file as it currently stands:

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

   # END WordPress

   I thought it might have something to do with the 'RewriteBase /' option, but if I have more than one blog set up - how do I deal with multiple directories, i.e.:

   RewriteBase /blog1/
   RewriteBase /blog2/

   Can I even do that??

   Help greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

   i believe each directory has its own .htaccess file that just consists of:

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

   Mr King,

   Thank you for your suggestion.
   I have implemented and will be sure to post feedback if it works.

   One thing that worked for me on one site that refused permalinks was this...

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

   Adding "Options FollowSymLinks" made all the difference. Might be worth a try.

   Mike
