Wordpress 2.7: Permalinks don’t work
by Edwin on Mar.10, 2009, under Blogging
“Why do my permalinks not work?” I asked myself in one of my first postings, actually just after I had figured out what they were. Somehow the problem got solved and I forgot all about it. The other day I got bussy on another website, set the permalink settings, and the very same problem occurred. Vloek!
As it appears, it’s all about the htaccess file.

It really needs the line:
RewriteEngine On
I copied the htAccess file from a proper working installation (root directory of your installation), and yes, a bit later it was working!

Proper functioning htaccess file!
Cheers
Edwin

What if you don’t even have an htaccessfile? I do not have an htaccessfile in my theme for my blog. I recently updated to 2.7 and have had no problem with my permalinks. However, I am working with a client and cannot get “pretty” permalinks to work. His theme has no htaccess file either. Is this something I can just create and add with the code above? Will that help?

DOH! Skip that…the file is in root. Got it!
