    I need to creat a HTACCESS file for wordpress (to allow me to change Options->Permalinks->Structure). Do I just creat it in MSWORD? Aside from the code generated by WordPress when I update the structure field, is there any code I need to put at the top of the file?

    Thanks for any assistance.

    WP should be able to automatically generate a .htaccess file for you if it has been given the correct permission to do so. If it can’t, then to make one, open notepad (do not use word) and copy and paste the htaccess “rules” that WP gives you.

    Then, you’ll need to save this text file as .htaccess (note the filename).

    You’ll then upload this to the root of your website.

    I’m thinking that I’ve seen this enough times that it should be in the FAQ on the Codex…. only there’s so many sections to it, I’m not sure where it belongs. “FAQ Working with WordPress” … “FAQ Advanced Topics” … “FAQ Troubleshooting” ??
