# Cannot Create A Post

 * [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-create-a-post/)
 * I have just installed WordPress 2.71 on my web site [http://www.spencerprint.co.uk](http://www.spencerprint.co.uk)
 * Everything appears OK, the control panel shows and I can access all the features,
   but I cannot create a ne wpost, or even edit the introduction post from WordPress,“
   Hello world” A message comes up saying it cannot find the file.
 * Is this something to do with the permalinks & the htaccess file?
 * I don’t have a htaccess file and am not too confident of creating my own. I know
   how to create it, but not sure of content to put.
 * Can anyone please help. I have neve rused WordPress before.
 * The site is at [http://www.spencerprint.co.uk/wordpress](http://www.spencerprint.co.uk/wordpress)
 * Many thanks,
 * Mike

 * Might help to know more details. What do you mean by Can’t? Do you get an error
   message? Does it kick you someplace else?
    Are you logging in ad Admin? Try turning
   off Permalinks and see if you have the same problem. Most of the .htaccess is
   created by wordpress for you. Would think you have to have one. It would be in
   the root of the domain or subdirectory if WP is installed in a sub.
