Hey,

So I'm utilizing Wordpress for a new site of mine, and uploaded a bunch of content.

I was told to change the permalink structure show it shows the month and name of the post.

My problem is, if you go to the site, whenever I click on one of the articles it tells me it's not there.

I'm usually good at solving these things, but right now my head hurts, does anyone know what's up.

    Do you have .htaccess file uploaded into your main directory? That's usually the case.

    I'm sure you'll ask, but the ".htaccess" file will tell the browser where to go when a visitor clicks on a 'permalink' on your blog.

    So if you don't have a .htaccess file, create a text file in your site's home folder/directory and rename it to ".htaccess". Then put this code in there:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    Save the file and upload it into your /www/ directory or "public_html" directory. That should fix it for you.

    Clear your cache. It's working on my end. It didn't work for me earlier, so I think it's fine now.

    It appears to be working, but you're not using the "month/name" permalink structure. I see "?p=32"
