    Hi all. I just did a clean install of WordPress to try and solve this problem. I contacted my host (goDaddy) and they said that it was unlikely that the issue was on their end. Whenever I change the permalink format from default to post name, the posts no longer link and I get a goDaddy 404 error. I have deleted the htaccess file to force a rewrite and that doesn’t fix it.

    – Check the error logs on your server for a more specific error message. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider to help you with that.

    There is an error logs folder in the root directory, but it’s empty. I enabled error logging and will post again once I get some info.

    For some reason I was able to fix this by switching to month and name as the permalink setting, and then changing the permalinks to two parters: about-x, the-gallery, etc made it work. *shrug*
