Permalinks: .htaccess not being written correctly

  • I’m trying to set up permalinks and WordPress is saying it’s completed everything correctly, but when I look at the .htaccess, I only see the following

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

# END WordPress

    I deleted the .htaccess and WordPress recreated it, so it’s definitely able to write to the file… I’m completely lost at this point as I haven’t seen any issues like this in my searches.

    Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Ok, after some more research I realized I just don’t completely understand how WordPress does its permalinks. I thought it was all done with mod-rewrite, but I guess it’s a bit more complicated than that.

    Anyway. I’ve figured something very important out. My goal is to have my permalinks as /%category%/%postname%/. For some reason, however, they’re only working if I set them up as /index.php/%category%/%postname%/. I’m a bit puzzled by this as my last WordPress installation is working perfectly fine without the index.php being there.
