    I keep getting this message in Permalinks section…

    If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.

    When I copied the code into .htaccess I thought this would fix it, but it’s still showing this error.

    What folder do I put the .htaccess file in to resolve this issue?

    the .htaccess file stays in the root folder.

    If I were you, I’d make the file writable through your FTP program, then after you’ve updated your permalink, remove the writable option.

    In my root directory I have this…

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    and I have permissions set to 644. I tried with 777 and no avail.

    Thank you all. I fixed it. I had the wrong URL in the settings, that’ll teach me to move a web site at 3:30am when I’m half asleep.

    Sorry about that, but thank you guys so very much for your help.
