No default permalinks options and 404 errors

  • Hi,

    I’m having trouble displaying my pages in wordpress, I get 404 errors on every page but the homepage. I’ve tried resetting the permalinks on the admin panel, but the the ‘default’ option doesn’t show, just ‘plain’, ‘post’ etc…

    When I visit the page, the website automatically makes a new .htaccess file.and then immediantly generates a 403 error. I mess with the permissions, still nothing happens.

    I have now deleted the .htaccess file to be able to see the admin panel again.

    Does anyone know how I might set the permalinks if there’s no default options and all my pages are showing 404 errors?

    I am thinking about re-installing because this problem has lasted 5 days, and I have searched the internet relentlessly for days, trying to fix this. How would I also re-install without losing all my content (pages, plugins, posts, themes, shop products…etc)?

    Thanks in advance!

    This is my permalinks page:

    When I visit it the 403 appears exactly when I leave the page, even if I don’t click ‘update’. And if I delete .htaccess, I get errors too, because the permalinks are ‘pretty’ and can’t be recognised. So its a lose – lose situation.

    You’re using aber.ac.uk as your host? I suppose it is the time to talk to your university hosting support…

    I’m on it, waiting for a response. Hopefully it gets sorted because there’s a lot resting on it.
