   Hi,

   There's a problem with my Permalinks.

   This is my blog: http://thecurrentaffairs.com/ipl/

   When I Post something starting with "IPL" it doesn't work with Permalinks and shows "Not Found".

   Please have a look and help me on this.

   Thanks and Regards.

   the problem is the .htaccess mod-rewrite that sends the "data" from the permalink to index.php works only if there is no actual directory with that name ...

   try the following, open the .htaccess file in your blog's root directory ... it should look like this:
   

   rewriteEngine on
   # BEGIN WordPress 
   
   # requested URL_path does not resolve to existing file
   rewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   # and requested URL-path does not resolve to existing directory
   rewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   # rewrite the request to WordPress
   rewriterule . /index.php [L]
   # END WordPress

   and add this on a new line right after "# BEGIN WordPress "
   

   # If requested URL-path does start with "/ipl/"
   rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/ipl(.*)$
   # rewrite the request to WordPress
   rewriterule . /index.php [L]

   Every wordpress installation has one, probably your ftp client doesn't show system protected files ... try using the Robots Meta plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/robots-meta/. It should let you edit the .htaccess file from within the wordpress dashboard

   Ok, this is how the .htaccess file looks

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

   # END WordPress

   What should be the changes?
