I am having the exact same problem. I cannot tell you how frustrated I am with this whole WordPress “stuff”. I want to use different words, but am censoring myself. I have been trying to figure out this stupid permalinks problem for over a week. I have even called two different tech support people. All I get is…”Yeah, I can see that that is a problem, but I’m not sure how to fix it.”
I have read forums like this one and have tried all of those steps. Not a one works!! If this is a widespread problem, why doesn’t someone fix it? Spending a week of my time trying to figure this out and get it to work is absolutely ridiculous.
I am not a dumb guy, so how in the world do you get this stupid thing to work? I need real stuff and not “well maybe it’s this, or maybe it’s that”. Come on you geniuses. Help me out.
PLEASE…I am going crazy!
