I actually could not find a .htaccess file anywhere in the directory. I looked through all the folders (I did go into the settings panel and tell it to show hidden files that begin with .). So i created one in TextWrangler and added it to the root directory. It didn’t do anything.
But this is all I pasted into that file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
