Oh no a re-install didn’t fix it that was my saving grace. Ok well my install isn’t a virtual machine its up and live on server space which my boyfriends web company use all the time for wordpress.

Worth noting that i mentioned WP wasn’t auto-updating my htcaccess file, but it also wasn’t alerting me of this in the backend. If it can’t write to the file wordpress usually flags that and it will give you the snippet of code and instruct you to place this manually into your file. This didn’t happen. I took the code that was provided on the support page.

I don’t know what was meant by symlinks? Is this a server / host thing?
At a loss of what to do, the default permalink option is sooo restrictive.

I have the same problem, wordpress 3.0.1 with Twenty Ten theme activated (but also doesn’t work with new theme i’m building). Default structure works but when I change it to a custom structure i get 404 not found pages.

Did you manage to resolve it or did you re-install? I always seems to have issues with page links in wordpress, last one was a weird double home page and then it messed up the blog page.

I’ve made sure htaccess file is writable but I do know that wordpress didn’t auto update it on my first upload/installation i had to enter the code rewrite code myself.

Also wasn’t sure where i set the ‘AllowOveride’ you mentioned?

No plugins installed.

Any help much appreciated it’s driving me crazy
