 * When you set the permalinks in your admin to something month, do you get a message
   saying that you need to update your htaccess file? Perhaps that’s what’s needed
   or maybe your hosting provider doesn’t have mod_rewrite and permalinks can’t 
   be changed…..

 * In the wp-admin, you go to Settings > Permalinks select the king of permalinks
   you want and then you’ll get a message in a big yellow background. That’s the
   info you want to paste in your .htaccess file.
 * This message will only appear if your .htaccess file is NOT writable.

 * I followed the steps given above and clicked on ‘Save Changes’ button. I got 
   this message. Permalink structure updated. (in yellow bar in Top side)

 * Then you’re permalinks should be set to the new settings? Are they still displaying
   the old ones?
