 * I looked around and all over and couldnt find a solution so i decided to ask 
   here… ok, enough with the intro
 * i made the non-seo-friendly mistake of choosing the default permalink settings–
   i want to change it to Month & Name but when i do, none of the links work. Now
   im sure it has to do with the htaccess file. I guess my question is, where is
   it located? – i cant seem to find one within the wordpress dir on my host. Any
   recommendations or am i doing something wrong? – feedback appreciated!

 * nevermind! – i got it – there WASNT one – so i made a new txt file – uploaded
   it to host in root directory – renamed it “.htaccess” and pasted this code in
   it:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```

   it still doesnt work.

 * nish4x:
 * make sure there are no other .htaccess on your host – i had a duplicate that 
   was mixing it up as well

   those links isnt showing.
