Messed Up The Permalinks – Please Help

Could you give us a link to your site, perhaps? Maybe also the permalink structure that’s not working?

https://www.treotown.com/ I’m guessing that’s your site.

If you didn’t have anything other than permalink stuff in your .htaccess file, just delete it, create a blank one, upload the blank one, and let WP take care of everything again. I’d think that should be able to fix it.

Thanks for the quick response. I tried uploading a blank .htaccess file with no luck. I actually hadn’t modified the previous .htaccess file, only the Permalinks in the Admin interface. I had previously changed the setting to:
/%day%/%postname%/

but when I noticed the links stopped working I changed it back to what I thought was the default:

/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

I’m actually not 100% sure that was the cause of the problem… I also tried to drop the Kubrik skin on the blog, but it didn’t look right so I replaced those files. Do you think that might have caused it?

Thank you very much guys. I am a complete novice to this stuff and I REALLY appreciate your help.

Hey guys… I figured it out… it was something stupid that I did that was totally unrelated. Thank you anyways!

I do not use .htaccess or mod_rewrite. They are a pain in that they have arcane syntax and even the slightest modification can block access to your site.

You can check my solution on permalinks. Also I have just now posted a comment further simplifying the permalink issue.
