That actually worked. Thank you so, so much!

I have no clue why, but this didn’t work for me. I contacted my host and asked them to change the Apache file as you described. (I even linked them to this page for the instructions.) They wrote me back and said they had completed steps 1-4 and now I just had to do 5 on my own by logging into WP.

I did what you said but only got what I’ve gotten before – 404 errors. I am using WP 2.9.2, however. Does anyone know if this could change things? If so, do you know what I can do to fix it and finally rid myself of that “index.php” in my URL?

Sorry, I meant no offense to you. I was not expecting an immediate response here or there, but I wanted it to be known that I was trying both places. The comment about being at the end of my rope was because I have continued to try to figure this out on my own with no luck, clearly not because you have failed to be helpful. So again, I apologize if my wording offended or insulted you. That was definitely not my intent.

Thank you so much. Copying that code into my CSS seemed to have solved the problem I have been struggling with for months totally seamlessly.
