 * Hi,
 * I thought that changing permalinks was just a matter of changing my Permalink
   Settings from Default to Day and name but it is not, when I change it my links
   don’t update so the pages can not be found.
 * Can some be so kind and show me how to make this change?
 * Thanks

 * First of all thank you for your reply!
 * Well, I didn’t update my .htaccess file. These are the steps I performed to change
   my permalinks.
 * 1- Changed Permalink Settings from Default to Day and name (or it could be any
   of the other options).
    2- Copied the suggested code from WordPress 3- Pasted
   it in my .htaccess file and it worked.
 * Thanks a lot!

 * please close this tread.
 * WP needs access to .htaccess file to write it. else what you did is an option.

 * Hmmm, grumpy, aren’t we? 😉

 * WP doesn’t need anything if you think it’s safer. After setting permalinks, and
   WP doesn’t have write rights, it suggests to copy the information manually. Write
   access to .htaccess is no must.
