 * Hi
    I did delete the .htaccess and uploaded the code i copied through the “using
   permalinks” link that you provided and saved as 1.htaccess and then uploaded.
 * I later renamed it .htaccess and changed my permlinks to just “/%postname%/” 
   but then the problem is still there.
 * Now i am getting 404 errors.
 * What else can i do?

   how to delete and rename wordpress.htaccess file. I am not too good with codes.

 * The page isn’t redirecting properly
 *  Hi Esmi,
 * I did try and switched to wordpress default and still no luck. In fact i do get
   these errors when i click on the categories
 * 1) 404 errors
 * 2) Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address
   in a way that will never complete.
 * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
    cookies.
 * The point is that not all of my categories are showing on my sidebar and the 
   few that is showing do not redirect properly.
 * What else can i do?
 * Biggs
