 * My problem is that even the default links do not work for more than a minute 
   after I tried to change to permalinks. If I use the links on the navigation bar
   they are taking me to the root directory.
 * WordPress address and blog address are: [http://cottageschool.org/school](http://cottageschool.org/school)
   
   When you click on a link it takes me to [http://cottageschool.org](http://cottageschool.org)
 * I have tried everything that I could find.
 * deleting and adding the .htaccess file:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
 * RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-content.*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}
   ^wp-admin.* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-include.* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule
   > # END WordPress
 * I host with godaddy..
 * I went throught all of this: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
 * I have done a LOT of editing and don’t want to have to start over..
 * Anyone else that can’t get back to default links or had this problem.. Any assistance
   would be VERY helpful as we are supposed to go live this week.
 * I woul dbe happy to use default links.. if they would just work..
 * Thank you in advance,
