   I noticed a problem that has cropped up after I automatically upgraded from 3.0.4 to 3.0.5. The permalinks are no longer working because the .htaccess file is not being updated correctly. When any changes are made to the configuration of the site, it writes out the following .htaccess file:
   

   # BEGIN WordPress
   
   # END WordPress

   Instead of the expected .htaccess file which makes the permalinks work.
   

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

   Any changes to the site which cause WordPress to rewrite the .htaccess file breaks the permalinks. The correct permalink code is never written into the .htaccess file automatically anymore, I have to manually add it. What happened?

   What are the permissions on your .htaccess file?

   There's a bug in the new version. Run through the forum, I think there's fix by updating akismet of all things!

   matt - WP has no problem writing to the .htaccess file, problem is that it writes an almost blank file (see first post)

   dragonc - thank you for pointing me in that direction, i will see what i can find

   Put the correct .htaccess file in place, change permissions so WP can't override it.

   Thanks anyway, I am not looking for a work-around (I already have one in place), I am looking for a solution to the problem

    Hello, I updated my WordPress blog to 3.0.4 and now my traffic has completely stopped. My site is still indexed with Google. No links are broken to any of my pages but I've gone from 300-500 visitors per day to an average of 5 I appreciate the help that anyone can give me.
