 * I had exactly the same panic (and paging endlessly round the dashboard looking
   for the thing) – thank you!

 * Thanks for the suggestion. I have uncommented various pieces of the code (I’d
   commented out meta, for instance) but it hasn’t solved my problem (www.free-from.
   com/blog).
 * I used to have the permalinks set to month/day/postname, and it worked fine. 
   Now, it no longer works.
 * If I reset the permalink structure to the default, I can navigate to my archives,
   and between posts, with no problem. If I reset the permalink to month/day/postname,
   using the radio buttons on the permalinks page of the control panel, then I can
   no longer navigate, and all links simply refresh the home page.
 * I’ve read through dozens of posts and attempted various solutions that have worked
   for others, and am at a loss to know how to proceed.
 * I don’t want the default option, nor the index.php option if I can avoid it. 
   What has changed? I have deactivated all the plugins I was using, and don’t know
   what else to try.
 * Does anybody have any ideas? Please?

 * Now I’ve upgraded WP, I’m having this problem – it was fine before (www.free-
   from.com/blog). If I click on an archive link or on a category link, I just get
   the home page presented again.
 * I did have permalinks enabled before, though I notice that most recent posts 
   have the default names – so I guess it wasn’t working.
 * I have tried changing the permissions on .htaccess and resetting the permalinks,
   but without any joy – same problem. I don’t understand the .htaccess file, but
   it says: RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L] Is this right?
 * Any ideas about what might have gone wrong? I’m stumped. Another blog I’ve just
   started seems to be working fine, and I haven’t done anything differently I don’t
   think.

 * Thanks sdeasy – I have this problem too (I hope I can say “had” this problem).
   Now I just have to wait until tomorrow morning to see if my scheduled backups
   arrive …
