 * Hi,
 * I have recently set up a new wordpress blog using wordpress 2.2. However, I tried
   to customize my permalink but it is always not working, it keeps return a 404
   error when I choose date, categories name or post name. Only the default is working.
 * Does anyone has encountered such an error? Can you share with me how to rectify
   this issue?
 * I have chmod my .htaccess and I have also added mod_rewrite text into the .htaccess.
   It is still not working.
 * I have my blog sitting in a sub-directory.
 * Thank you. Your help is very much appreciated.
 * Sincerely,
    KP

 * Check the [Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Permalinks) page for LOTS of
   troubleshooting tips. (or use that big search field we have here in the forums)
 * In particular, confirm with your host that mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are 
   both on and enabled.

 * Hi HandySolo,
 * Thank you for your suggestion. I have looked through the troubleshooting tips
   but still I cannot find a solution.
 * I don’t know if my case is a bit special or not. I have a wordpress blog set 
   up on my master domain (www.kpebiz.com), and then, I tried to set another 2 wordpress
   blogs in another 2 separate folder (www.kpebiz.com/knowhow and [http://www.kpebiz.com/blogkpebiz](http://www.kpebiz.com/blogkpebiz))
 * I have customized my permalink in all 3 blogs. The permalink on my master domain(
   www.kpebiz.com) is working fine. I have followed the same method to set up the.
   htaccess on my another 2 blogs in another 2 sub-folders, but the permalinks on
   these 2 sub-folder blog are not working. The link keeps jumping back to the master
   domain.
 * I don’t know if there is a limitation that I cannot customize my permalink if
   I have too many wordpress blog set up on the same domain.
 * I need some help here… Anyone has any good suggestions? You help is very much
   appreciated.
 * Thank you.

 * No, there aren’t any limits.
 * I’d be curious about something though. If you set the root level blog’s permalinks
   to default, do the two blogs in the sub-domains suddenly start working?

 * Hi HandySolo,
 * I tried that to set the root level blog’s permalinks to default, but the sub-
   domains permalinks are still not working.
 * Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
