• Hello!

    I am trying to get the Permalinks to work but just get a configuration error.

    From default to /%postname%/

    This is what i have in my .htaccess it is in my htdocs on my server with Fasthost.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Hope some can help me write a correct .htaccess.

    Thank you

    Louise

  • WP should do the htaccess changing for you, but did you read this? Using only %postname% is not a good idea. Did you try another structure (%post_id%/%postname% for example) and did that work?

    I tried /%category%/%postname%/ but still won’t work.

    Get error message:

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, *****@cool-freebies.co.uk and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Do i need to edit the .htaccess or is there something missing on my server.

    Thank you

    Did you read the rest of the article that I linked to? There are a few requirements to live upto, such as a writable htaccess, mod_rewrite installed, etc. I am not the right person to talk you through the technical parts of things, but maybe this article will provide some suggestions to look into.

    are you on a windows server?

    I am on a Linux server!

    I have contacted my hosting company to see why this is not working.

    They say that i have mod_rewrite installed but can’t see why its not working.

    Will reply again once i have heard back from my host company.

    Thank you

    Something to do with the server and they changed my settings.
