I had the same problem with pages, and I ended up not even using them.
As for the .htaccess , you can manually add a file called .htaccess in the root of your directory, give it read and write permissions (not sure about Execute) and then WordPress will update this file.
So, its easier to make the file blank, set premissions, and then let WordPress update it than to let WP create it from scratch… at least that is how I solved that one…
and make sure that directory has correct permissions too
Thanks, but how do i give permissions to .htaccess? I’m very new with code :).
But as a default, there’s a htacess file with this permissions:
#Htaccess di seogoogle.it
Options +ExecCGI +Indexes +Indexes
AddHandler cgiwrap .cgi .pl .chm
AddHandler php-cgiwrap .php4 .php .php3
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
DirectoryIndex .htredirect.html index.php welcome.php index.php3 index.htm default.htm default.php
AddType text/html /
#fine htaccess
what shoud I had to let WP work?
Thanksa a lot!
I guess it would depend on the server and how you are uploading files to it. I am runnining my webserver off of a linux box.
I can use a shell to goto the directory and CHMOD the file itself. Or, I can use an FTP program (LeechFTP. CuteFTP. Ws-FTP etc) to upload the files to the server, then right click on the file and set the permissions from “Permissions” in the menu by checking whichever permissions I want to give the file – READ WRITE and or EXECUTE.
By permissions, I meant permissions of the .htaccess file itself, not what it has in it to do.
I have no problem on uploding files or other. I have problems only running wordpress. What permissions should I change? of what directories? I mean wp-admin?
the .htaccess file.
delete your .htaccess file
Open Notepad,
put
#Htaccess di seogoogle.it
Options +ExecCGI +Indexes +Indexes
AddHandler cgiwrap .cgi .pl .chm
AddHandler php-cgiwrap .php4 .php .php3
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
DirectoryIndex .htredirect.html index.php welcome.php index.php3 index.htm default.htm default.php
AddType text/html /
#fine htaccess
in it, save the file as .htaccess and upload it. If you are using an FTP program to upload it, try setting the permissions on the file as READ WRITE EXECUTE and see if then it will work.
I tried but still doesn’t work. From the assistance of the server they told me this:
You should set WordPress in order to make it not to modify
.htaccess on the root.
I’m ogin crazy…:( what could i do?
