I am also having this same issue.

Going direct to the index.php is not working for me.

Anyone else have any ideas?

you can edit your files through your hosting cpanel if you have one, but when you created your hosting account you should have been given the logins, but just ask for them again.

thanks, just added the code where i wanted it and it is working. i am in the process of creating a theme so am glad i found it, but have wasted time looking for an answer. there should maybe be a manual on what tags must be included when creating a theme because someone with no experience would have had a much harder time fixing it.

have you created the .htaccess file according to what wordpress told you to after you changed the permalink structure?

when you change the permalink structure to a ‘pretty’ one you need to ensure that your .htaccess file (this should be in the folder on your server where your blog resides) is updated to reflect the changes. when you change the permalink structure most of the time there is no .htaccess file or it is not writeable on the server.

if you do not have a .htaccess file you can create on by opening a text document and saving it blank as .htacces and then uploading it to your server to the folder where your blog resides.

change the permissions of the .htacces file to 777

then change the permalink to what you want and update (if it is already set to your choice change it to something else, update and then change it back and update it again)

change the permissions of the .htacces file back to 644

you should be good to go

hope this helps ??

Hiya,

The benefit of hosting the blog on your own website is that the traffic will be yours and you also have more control over the look and feel of the site with plugins and such.

I make custom themes for wordpress, what is the url for your site and I will see if there is anything I can help you with.

Mine seem to be all working fine although I cannot get any translation plugins to work, so will post about it spearately.
