Hi I have tried all of the above, however I still have not managed to fix the issue. I have tried deleting the .htacess file that is there and uploading a new one with the code posted above however this has not worked. I have deactivated all plug-ins and Widgets and removed all GA code and the rel author tag that I had placed in the footer and header as well as the web-master tools verification code that was on the site. Is there anything else that I could be doing that would cause the permalinks not work?

Hi

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I am still very new to all of this so you will have to excuse my lak of knowledge but what exactly do you mean by turn off your modifications and how so I go about doing it? Once I have this done will WordPress automatically generate a new .htacess file?

Thanks

Conor

I have been doing some more looking into this. I went in and deleted the .htacess file in the wordpress directory. I then went and changed the permalinks setting and it wrote a new .htacess file. However this did not seem to solve the issue that I have been having with the links. I have been reading through the support forums but I can’t seem to see any other suggestions as to what this might be. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Conor

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I have updated the .htaccesfile with the above. I have tried deactivating all of the plugins that I am using and that does not seem to fix the issue. I am using the default 2012 theme but to be sure I have switched over to the 2011 theme and this does not seem to be having an effect. I have posted Google Analytics code as well as an rel author tag into the theme. Could this be causing the problem? Other than that I don’t know what else it could be. Am I correct in saying that the .htaccess file should be in the main directory and not any other sub-directories? At the moment I have it in the example.com directory on my hosting. Is that correct?

thanks

Conor
