 * I just upgraded to 3.9.1 and then all of the sudden my permalinks stop working
   correctly via post-name and the site only works via the default structure. I 
   have looked at several posts and none seems to have helped or had the same problem.
   I noticed this as soon as I upgraded.

   works but should be this:

 * Try re-saving your permalinks via Settings -> Permalinks in your blog’s Dashboard.
 * It sounds odd, but sometimes that needs to be kicked to re-generate the .htaccess
   file.

 * And you saved anything but default? Like, did you try “Day and name” for example?
 * At [http://annapolisusnscc.org/seacadets/](http://annapolisusnscc.org/seacadets/)
   every URL is presented as the default query string URL (like ?page_id=201).
 * If permalinks have been saved, even if .htaccess failed to update, the front-
   facing URLs would reflect the desired permalink (like /for-the-cadet/how-to-join/).

 * I tried to save as all other permalinks rather than the default to no avail. 
   I see the URLs changing, but not getting rid of the redirect.

 * When you save the new permalinks, can you please check to see if a `.htaccess`
   file is created in the same directory as your `wp-config.php` file, and paste
   the contents of that in a reply here (use the “code” button when pasting it)?
 * You might need to enable invisible files in your SFTP or FTP client to see it.

 * I do not see the .htaccess file at all. I am using filezilla and I chose it to
   force showing hidden files. I also do not see a web.config file either. I only
   have wp-config.php…

 * When you re-save the permalinks, do you see a message about adding lines to your.
   htaccess file?

 * No, nothing it acts as if it was successful.

 * Try creating a text file titled `.htaccess` in the same directory as the `wp-
   config.php` file and `/wp-content/` sub-directory with the following:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```

 * I have exactly the same problem but with me it was with a new website.
    only 
   the main page is visible and with the permalinks other than default the other
   page’s will not be found error 404 or redirect loop checked with a older installation
   wordpress 3.8 and there was no problem so it must be 3.9.1
 * oh yes and i have a .htacces
    running centos 6.5 with wordpress 3.9.1
