 * Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server.

 * Was the .htaccess file automatically updated when you switched to a custom permalink
   structure? Or did you get a message about amending your .htaccess file?

 * I got a message:
 * 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.
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /WP/ RewriteRule ^index\.
   php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /WP/index.php [L] </IfModule>
