 * I moved my wordpress installation on a VPS hosting but custom permalinks doesn’t
   work any more. When I click on a post title it redirect me to 404 Not Found page.
   It seems my .htaccess isn’t writable and I paste this code manually
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * as wordpress said but it didn’t help. Can anyone please tell how can I solve 
   this problem?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi,
 * Reset your permalink from wordpress admin area with your desired and add this
   code in htaccess:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Now, check with your blog posts.
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.
