Unless your host will install that for you, then for now delete the .htaccess and update the permalinks structure to no structure * Thread Starter [sabfeng](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sabfeng/) * (@sabfeng) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-please-help/#post-198031) * I have done that.
