Simple solution to a Worpress headache.....

For quite a while now, I have been unable to set custom permalinks. After having tried what I thought to be every trick in the book, I realized that I was blocked from updating the .htaccess file by settings on the server.

So what now ?

searching for something else, I stumbled across this:

Simply add /index.php/ before the desired permalink structure. It eliminates the need for a .htaccess file.

so I simply wrote: /index.php/%postname%/ under custom permalink structure.

Hope this helps someone.

    For most people you can also change the permissions on your .htaccess file be 666 which allows Wordpress to update it itself.

      Yes, that's the way it works in most cases, but in my case, it made no difference. Setting permissions, manually updating, and even uploading a "clean" .htaccess didn't work.

      Eventually the system administrators agreed it was due to server settings
