If I use this for my .htaccess and have Default permalink settings selected it all works ok, but if I change the setting to anything other than default, images in my header.php and footer.php still do not display on all pages except for the homepage.

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

# END WordPress

If I use the code above, everything works as it should when I have default selected, however once I select anything other than default I get a 500 Internal Server Error!!

??

link to site please, and where did you place the htaccess file?

Can I PM you the link as the site is still under development.

This is where I currently have .htaccess
httpdocs > mywebsite >
.protect
wp-admin
wp-content
wp-includes
.htaccess

I have another WP website in httpdocs as well, if that makes any difference.

Are you on a windows server?

No I’m on a Linux server

WordPress address and Site address are the same – https://www.example.com

Changing the path in Settings > Media doesn’t make any difference, I still get the same error

I have not imported a local database, no content is coming from an imported local database. If I create a new page and try to add a picture by uploading it I can’t, I get this error:

“image3.png” has failed to upload due to an error
Unable to create directory /usr/local/pem/vhosts/117074/webspace/httpdocswebsite/wp-content/uploads/2010/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

The error is for a local path, but the site is a live site. How can I change this path to allow me to upload images!

Some more searching lead me to multiple content blocks, works nicely!

Thanks for the help!
