 * The only working permalink structure i can get on [this blog](http://www.projetoigatu.org/blog)
   is:
    `/index.php/archive/%postname%/`
 * When I change the structure to, for example: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/,
   WP indicates that the .htaccess is updated but the links don’t work.
 * any idea?

 * Thanks Adam, i read everything there but my problem still persists.
 * Independent on my permalink choice, WordPress **always suggests the same htaccess
   configuration**:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /blog/
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Didn’t this need to change to something like:
    `RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{
   4})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /blog/index.
   php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&page=$5 [QSA]`
 * I’m running 2.3.1 on apache…
