 * Hi Guys,
 * I’ve got a site and I’m not 100% sure whats happening but all root level pages
   work but others dont.
 * If I access:
 * > [http://www.domain.com/home](http://www.domain.com/home)
   >  [http://www.domain.com/albums](http://www.domain.com/albums)
   > [http://www.domain.com/contact-us](http://www.domain.com/contact-us)
 * These work fine…
 * If I access:
 * > [http://www.domain.com/album/this-album](http://www.domain.com/album/this-album)
   > 
   > [http://www.domain.com/album/that-album](http://www.domain.com/album/that-album)
   > [http://www.domain.com/album/my-album](http://www.domain.com/album/my-album)
 * I get a 404 error
 * I’m thinking its a permalinks error but then I noticed that this:
 * > [http://www.domain.com/galleries/my-gallery](http://www.domain.com/galleries/my-gallery)
 * Works
 * Any ideas where I should start?
 * Also, this is a rebrand on my existing site, and I’m looking to change my url
   from [http://www.domain.com/site](http://www.domain.com/site) to [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com)
   which I can do easily, but how do I tell google I’ve moved the url (so that the
   existing google listings still work) (possibly 301 redirect?

 * Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings-
   > Permalinks. If this works, then review [Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
   before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

 * Esmi – Thank you 🙂 I reset back to default and it worked!
 * Then I reset to %postname% and now its broken again…. I checked the Using_Permalinks
   link in your post but %postname% is “correct”
 * Must be something in the .htaccess I would guess…
 * My .htaccess:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```

 * No – that’s fine. Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server.

 * I run my own server, I’ve checked it and mod_rewrite is enabled 🙁
 * How odd 🙁

 * Is there anything else in your .htaccess file? Can you re-start the server?
