 * Hello.
 * I noticed a problem.
    Last week, when accessing one of my wordpress websites,
   i noticed that every button i pressed reply a 404 error. Looked at the permalinks
   settings in wordpress admin and all looked ok. So, it was a .htaccess problem.
   I overwrited the .htaccess and it stareted working again.
 * After about 4 days, it happened again. The same fix resolved the problem. I know
   for sure that i am the only one who has access to the file server, so noone else
   si deleting the htacces.
 * Did you heard of something like this before? any ideas?
    Thank you
 * Valentin
 * (I mention that i wrote the .htaccess file myself, adding the rule provided in
   permalinks wordpress admin)

 * I was able to get it to work. I used the code that WP provided at the bottom 
   of the permalinks page:
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.
   php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * I copied this exact code into a text editor. when you save it, you need to change
   the name to .htaccess because a text editor will automatically save as .htaccess.
   txt. I uploaded it to the root folder. After it was uploaded, I right-clicked
   on the the file and changed the permission to 755. I went to the permalinks page
   again and clicked on a different choose (any of the other choices) and hit save.
   I then added my custom permalink so it would have only the page name instead 
   of date: /%catagory%/%postname%/ saved again and it worked.
 * Hopefully this will work for you also.

 * hello
    thanks for the reply. But my problem is that my htaccss file is not there
   anymore. I know how to write the htaccess. I don’t think that the problem is 
   from showing dates.
