Sorry I didn’t follow up and let you guys know where I went wrong. Make sure your .htaccess file is in the WP root. I had it at fluideye.com instead of fluideye.com/blog.

I’ve done and still no luck. Thanks for everyone trying to help thus far. I’m still missing something here though.

I’ve been able to get the contact form to display correctly but whenever I try and submit I get an error: “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” Anyone else had this problem?

O.K. so I went into the wp-includes/vars.php file and made the changes suggested in the link above and word press still cannot write to .htaccess.

Steps to enable permalink:

1.structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

2.Click on “Update Permalink Structure” tab

3. Get following error message: “If your .htaccess was writable we could do this automatically, but it isna€?t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.”

4 So I copy and paste rules into .htaccess file

Now once I do this, whenever I hover over the post title, it shows the new link structure but whenever the link is clicked, I get a 404 page.

Can someone tell me why?

Yes you can through word press or you can cut and paste into the .htaccess. I have done it both ways and get the same results.

The structure I am trying for is:

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

What else needs to be done and will the structure work for every link on my site?

By the way if you are trying to repeat error on my site, I have cleared my .htaccess file.

No, I read and reread all of the codex info and the other postings to this forum but it still isn’t clear to me unless I’m looking to deep. I modified .htaccess through my control panel so there is no need to chmod 666. Even so, the links when hovered show the new path but is directed to a 404.
