 * Hello
    I just updated WP to the latest version and now only the site’s homepage
   is functioning and all the PERMAlinks are not showing: mistresselektra.com
 * I did notice the htaccess file contained no data so I inserted code like this:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /wordpress/
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * _[ Please use the backtick ` or code button for code. It makes it much more readable.]_
 * Am I suppose to manually add in all the permalinks? Is it a file permission error?
   
   Any ideas anyone? Also…I HAD malware on my site but it was cleaned off… Thank
   you Morpheus

 * If you have not done so already, go to your permalink settings and save them 
   again. That will re-do the `.htaccess` file (with the same code) and tell WordPress
   what the permalinks should be.

 * WordPress permalinks are controlled via your WordPress dashboard.

 * Looks like you have not yet succeeded in delousing your WordPress install.
 * You really want to make a backup right now…
