Hi,
After almost 2 weeks of research,I seemed to have found a moderate solution.Assuming you have installed wordpress on your own,here are some steps to obtain pretty permalinks(almost).
1)Install Canonical Url Disable Plugin
2)Go to Settings in your administration panel(Site Admin)
3)Go to General Tab
4)Change the Blog Url to http://www.example.com/index or http://www.example.com/index.php(Both Work,if not do tell me!)
5)Now,Go to Permalinks Tab.
6)Select one of the pretty permalinks.
That’s it.Though Iam not sure how /index works.I guess it is something unique to Yahoo Webhosting.

abhijitmaleth,
I did what you said to do and it ruined my blog. I changed the blog URL to http://www.juliotavarez.com/info/index.php and now I cant even get back to the admin page to fix it.
Can someone help me fix my blog?
Thanks!
Hey Laroca,
I think you must have changed the WordPress address (URL).That’s probably the reason you can’t get back to your admin page.It has happened to me also.Please read the instructions carefully!It says Blog Address(URL).As for getting your blog back online,I think adjusting the URL in your MySql table should do the trick.
Guys please read the instructions properly.It is the BLOG URL that you have to change not the WordPress URL.

For the disable canonical links plugin, is it just a php file that I add to my root file system? You say ‘install’ and I’m uncertain what I need to do since it’s just a file.
I added the file to my root and changed the blog URL. The post urls now look pretty, but when they are clicked they redirect to a URL without the index.php and therefore give a 404.
Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong? You can see this at:

You need to upload the disable canonical links plugin file to your wp-content/plugins folder, then go to the Plugins page and activate it.
kpdesign –thank you! Your info helped me to resolve my issue. I now have my permalink structure working. Whew … that only took 3 days 🙂
You’re welcome. 🙂 Glad you got it all sorted out!
Oops, sorry for being ambiguous in my instructions.Yes,as kpdesign rightly said,install means to upload the file to the plugins directory and then activating it as you would a normal plugin from the WordPress Dashboard.
Anyways here are the modified instructions:
1)Install Canonical Url Disable Plugin(install means to upload the file to the plugins directory and then activating it as you would a normal plugin from the WordPress Dashboard.)
2)Go to Settings in your administration panel(Site Admin)
3)Go to General Tab
4)Change the Blog Url to http://www.example.com/index or http://www.example.com/index.php(Both Work,if not do tell me!)
5)Now,Go to Permalinks Tab.
6)Select one of the pretty permalinks.
