I’ll check that out, thanks! * Thread Starter [kaly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaly/) * (@kaly) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-188854) * Still a little problem…. What exactly should the .htaccess say?? I just don’t want to mess it up even more! * [lawtai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lawtai/) * (@lawtai) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-188855) * if you create a blank .htaccess file and upload it to where your WP folder is located, and CHMOD it to 666 then go back and update your permalink structure, WP will take care of the rest. * Thread Starter [kaly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaly/) * (@kaly) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-188856) * At the end of my blog page I’ll write “powered by WP 1.5 and the guys from the forums” LOL * Thanks so much!! * [lawtai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lawtai/) * (@lawtai) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-188858) * heh looks like you got it working * Thread Starter [kaly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaly/) * (@kaly) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-188859) * Yup! Seriously, when i get around to tweaking the template, I swear I’ll add that little “powered by” tag! * [anhunt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anhunt/) * (@anhunt) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-189506) * I don’t know if anyone still reads this thread, but do you know if you need to keep the permission of .htaccess as 666? or once that issue is resolved, can they go back to 644? * [Joshua Sigar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphaoide/) * (@alphaoide) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-189507) * Yes, you could go back to 644. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-189508) * If you are writing only posts – you can go back. However if you write Pages the. htaccess file needs to be updated with new rules for every Pages created in the Write > Write Page admin panel. If you don’t make Pages very often, probably you should keep it at 644, and just changing it before you save a new Page. ( then turn it back to unwritable) * [anhunt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anhunt/) * (@anhunt) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-189509) * In the Permalinks codex (below) it warns that leaving permission as 666 “is not recommended, since if you do that, any user of your blog, who can edit templates will be able to edit it.” * 1. Is this the only “security threat”? 2. If so, and that is a non-issue/concern( I don’t have other users) then I might as well leave it, right? * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks) * [Joshua Sigar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphaoide/) * (@alphaoide) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-189510) * _.htaccess file needs to be updated with new rules for every Pages created in the Write > Write Page admin panel._ I don’t believe the above statement is true. Writing a Page does not need updating permalink. Verify it yourself. ** Edit:** I was wrong; Moshu’s right. * _If so, and that is a non-issue/concern (I don’t have other users) then I might as well leave it, right?_ Again, I don’t know what I’m talking about, but… If you’re in a shared host (which is likely), a 666 permission allows other users in that server to write to that file. Verifiy it yourself. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-link-not-working-2/#post-189511) * [@alphaoide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphaoide/), [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Pages) * Edit. I “verified” it: created a Page **without** having the .htaccess file writable( i.e. it was set to 644) and created a new Page. Try to access it [here](http://www.transycan.net/blogtest/)– the title is “permatest page” in the right menu!
