  • you can use the host’s file manager
    it should show the .htaccess by default and let you change permissions

    Ok when I go to iPage’s (iPage is my host) filemanager, It comes up with alot of folders and files. Where is it located?

    I have been trying to figure out the permalinks thing and I think you have the answer for me. I have been using a new hosting company and when I change the permalinks it says this,

    If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    Can you tell how to do this?

    Thanks, Frank

    you will need to chmod the wordpress .htaccess to 666 and save the permalinks and it will work automatically
    or
    you will need to download the .htaccess to your computer
    add the above rules
    save file
    upload back to site

    it will be in the root of wherever wordpress is installed

    I am having the exact same problem as frankie1266.

    What does chmod the wordpress .htaccess mean? and how do you save the permalinks

    to save permalinks
    dashboard – settings – permalinks
