 * When I use the Perma Links option in the settings (i have installed a custom 
   theme) the perma links will now go to pages with really good linkage, but it 
   says… Not found…
 * I created new pages after I installed perma links and still when clicking to 
   the new pages, it says not found.
 * I have had this trouble before, and as soon as I turn perma links back to default“
   i then get pages like this” [http://www.nickthepromisering.com/?p=1&#8243](http://www.nickthepromisering.com/?p=1&#8243);–
   but they don’t have descriptive URLS…
 * I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and how i fix it?

 * Go to permalinks in settings… select custom, then add –> /%postname%
 * then in you theme folder either modify or create the .htaccess folder within 
   your theme root .. enter below
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * save.. then refresh your browser.. you shouldnt have any more 404 errors.

 * I turned on permalinks, went to custom and added
    “/%postname%
 * Then added the .htaccess to the root of my theme folder, and its not working.
 * You said create .htaccess folder, but did you mean file? I created a file in 
   the root of my theme folder called .htaccess
 * What am I doing wrong?
