Today I have changed my permalink structure to post name rather than the default (?p=23). I found it difficult to find out how to do this because whenever I changed the structure it told me to update the .htaccess file and the posts then wouldn’t link properly. After posting a question on DigitalPoint I soon found then answer.

Login to your hosting account through FTP, goto the directory where the blog is installed (maybe public_html if installed at root), change permissions of the .htaccess file to 666 and then try to update/save your permalink structure from wordpress.

I hope this information helps some of you bloggers, as it helped me!

If the .htaccess file doesn’t exist, upload/create an empty file of that name and follow the process above.
