Hello, I have the same problem. I create the file because i could′t find it and nothing. Y see the file created “.htaccess”, i put it in the wp root directory.
Then when i change the permalink i can′t access to the blog ( https://www.otrommundoverde.com/blog ) and i look inside the htaccess and nothing had been written.
If you don′t have the htaccess file, it works the same?
But i need it to redirect my old files…
I algo tried with the plugins… “deans permalinks migration”, and “pemalinks redirect” and the “redirection”. With all i have the same problem. It seems that wp can′t create de htaccess.. but it have permisson.
And also when i create the file i put any instruction and it does′t take effect…
please, help me.
thank′s
Ale
