# WordPress 3.5 Permalink Issues

 * I use WordPress on a regular basis. I have it installed on many of my websites.
   I just installed a fresh copy of WordPress 3.5 on a new domain and only changed
   the permalink to Post Name or /%postname%/ and it broke the site. If I leave 
   it on default, it works, but I don’t want my site to have ?p=123 on all of my
   pages. I will have about 300-500 pages on this site.
 * If I change the permalink structure to anything other than default, it breaks
   the site and gives me a 404 error page.
 * Can someone please help me with this issue? If I leave this site this way when
   it goes live, I will certainly will never hear the end of it by my client.
 * Thanks.

 * Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server.

 * That was it. For some reason it was turned off for that one domain. Thank you.
