Permalink Problems, 404 Errors – maybe htaccess ?

Hi,

I have just disabled about 5 of my plugins and now only the front page of my website (www.justcreativedesign.com) works (all the other pages display a 404 error).

Originally my permalink structure was
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
but now every page gives me a 404 error except the home page.

I have found if I change my permalink structure back to default (I have it there atm until someone can help me out) that all of the pages work however I want to change back to my old permalink structure for obvious reasons however when I do so nothing works.

I believe the problem may lie with my htaccess file (which is atm 100% blank). I am not sure what should be there?

and my website is 100% the root directory if that would help.

If anyone could help me out with this issue, it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

PS. I emailed my host company regarding this and they said…

There is nothing wrong with anything on our end. We cannot help you with your issue.

The only thing that has changed is you doing what is listed below.

Try undoing all of the changes you made excepecially to .htaccess files created by content management systems that rewrite URLs.
