 * Hey all I made a blog a few days ago on wordpress. Now as per some seo I had 
   to change the permalinks to %postname% but I was not able to do this.
 * When I tried to open my posts after this change my explorer gave an error:
    Not
   Found
 * The requested URL /convert-vmware-image-to-virtual-box was not found on this 
   server.
 * Now how to repair this.
 * I have another blog working on wordpress and I have the same permalink there 
   which is working very fine. But what has happened to this one.
 * I have tried to reinstall wordpress on the server but no effect!!!!!
 * Please help

 * Hi,
 * As you have changed the permalinks..add this code in htaccess file..
 * # BEGIN WordPress
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404 RewriteEngine
   On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
