I was able to get it to work. I used the code that WP provided at the bottom of the permalinks page:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I copied this exact code into a text editor. when you save it, you need to change the name to .htaccess because a text editor will automatically save as .htaccess.txt. I uploaded it to the root folder. After it was uploaded, I right-clicked on the the file and changed the permission to 755. I went to the permalinks page again and clicked on a different choice (any of the other choices) and hit save. I then added my custom permalink so it would have only the page name instead of date: /%catagory%/%postname%/ saved again and it worked.

Hopefully this will work for you also.

I am having the same problem. But none of the other options are working for me. I have disabled all pluggins and selected “month and name” and the page is still not coming up. But like the other person, the url is correct. i’m using the basic template that was installed with a fresh install. I am hosting at iPage.
