Adjusting Permalink Settings Without a 404 Page.

Hi bakerbrothertv,

Make sure that your .htaccess file has the proper mod_rewrite rules.

What are the contents of your current .htaccess file? You can find it in your root directory.

How do I set mod_rewrite rules? I usually just work through wordpress rather than accessing the root directory.

You’ll need a FTP Client to access the files on your server. You host should be able to provide the login credentials (host, username, password).

According to who.is, you are hosting with Bluehost. If that’s correct, here’s a link to help you set up a FTP account.

Alright, I’e found the .htaccess file although it says ‘mod_headers’ and some other stuff. What do I need to change?

The Basic WP rules are here. Make sure to copy and save your current contents to a note, so that you can revert back if needed.

it says ‘mod_headers’ and some other stuff.

These other rules might be needed. You should clarify with your host.

Actually I think I already that same code. This is what I’ve got:

`# Use PHP5.4 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54s .php
# BEGIN W3TC Browser Cache
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
</IfModule>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css text/x-component application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript text/x-js text/html text/richtext image/svg+xml text/plain text/xsd text/xsl text/xml image/x-icon application/json
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
# DEFLATE by extension
AddOutputFilter DEFLATE js css htm html xml
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
# END W3TC Browser Cache

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

It’s hard to tell exactly what the issue might be, but your caching plugin could be causing a conflict. Personally, I would replace the .htaccess file with only the contents listed on this page. If it doesn’t work as expected you can always revert back.
