 * I recently changed my permalink structure from the default:
 *  » [http://www.60in3.com/?p=123](http://www.60in3.com/?p=123)
 * to the date and name based option:
 *  » [http://www.60in3.com/2007/06/16/sample-post/](http://www.60in3.com/2007/06/16/sample-post/)
 * The blog itself displays fine but everytime on a post title to go to that post’s
   page, I get a 404 error. Do I need to do anything to migrate all the old post
   links? I thought those were generated by WP on the fly.

 * When you did this, did you get conformation that WordPress had successfully edited
   the .htaccess file? If you can’t remember, go to the permalink page, and press
   Update Permalink Structure, and report back on the results.

 * Thank you! That worked perfectly. I changed .htaaccess file to allow it to be
   written and the change went through. Everything works. Thanks again.
