 * I have been trying for ages to get permalinks to work.
 * If I set them to Post Name [https://backinbalance.nz/sample-post/](https://backinbalance.nz/sample-post/)
   they go to 404 page not found.
 * If I set them to Numeric [https://backinbalance.nz/archives/123](https://backinbalance.nz/archives/123)
   they seem to work as Post Name. [https://backinbalance.nz/sample-page](https://backinbalance.nz/sample-page)
 * I have tried everything I can find deleting and reinstalling numerous times …
   deleting the contents of the .htaccess file … pasting new contents … inactivating
   all the plugins … using default theme … I can’t think of anything I have not 
   tried that I have found in the forums … I am reluctant to leaving it as this 
   fudge as I suspect once I have built the site something will stop working … I
   just can’t seem to get the thing to work.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpermalink-problems-33%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi fellow Kiwi,
    It appears that the/sample-post/ link works for me so do you
   still have this problem? The /archives/123 link gives a 404 so does that page
   actually exist? The links for Services for instance work as well although I presume
   these are defaults provided by the theme.

 * Hello Mouli,
    I have solved the problem by changing the host of the site. I don’t
   think it was the host’s problem but I wanted to move to StudioPress Sites anyway.
   I still don’t know what was going on but I will close the topic.

 * That is good news indeed.
    It probably was an issue with the host since changing
   host fixed it and i know there are some Apache configurations that can cause 
   this issue. Good that you are up and running again.
