    Guess what! This issue is solved! The problem was with the template. When I switched to the Twenty-Ten template the Post Archive links worked. The template that I was using is one that I wrote myself in an earlier version of Word Press (about 2.4 OR 2.5). The Post Archive links worked in my template, even for the current 3.01 version, when it was on the old server. However, the Post Archive links stopped working in my template when I moved to a new server, until, I switched away from my template to use another. Now the Post Archive links work!

    The .htaccess file that have now was created by sending up and an empty .htaccess file, then re-saving the Permalinks. When the good suggestions offered by you and ipstenu did not work, I figured the must be an idiosyncrasy on my end, and it was my template.

    Many big thanks for your attention. Your help led me to figure this out.

    Gratefully yours – David

    Although I have not caching plugins, I deactivated all plugins and and set the permissions of the .htaccess to 777 and tried:
    the .htaccess file you wrote
    the .htaccess file your wrote that I modified to allow for sub-directories
    an empty .htaccess, then, I re-saved the Permalinks
    Results for all are the same. Post Archive not working.

    Also, I tried adjusting the .htaccess file you wrote to compensate for the fact that the blog is in a sub-directory (of /usa/blog/), because I read somewhere this is what one should do. That did not work either. The adjusted code based on what you wrote is:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /usa/blog/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /usa/blog/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    I have the .htaccess file you wrote in the first blog ( http://kalarhythms.org/usa/blog/ ) and there is no “Error 500 – Internal server error” now. I did something wrong that caused that to happen before. Still, the Post Archive links are not working. I don’t know why they worked for a second before, but I will keep trying.

    I do appreciate the effort, but when I tried this new .htaccess file that you kindly wrote the blog became unviewable with an “Error 500 – Internal server error.” I changed permissions of the .htaccess file to 777 but the results were the same.

    Wow! OK, I tried changing permissions and the Post Archive links still do not work (also, when I do a W3C Link Validation from http://validator.w3.org/ it show many Permalink errors). The type of Permalinks I would like are “Month and name.” If this works it will be fantastic! I have many blogs that I have moved with this same problem.
    Super big Thank You for your efforts on this!

    OK, doing a Save of my Permalinks Did create an .htaccess file when I clicked to change the Permalink setting from “Default” to “Month and name.” However, now that the .htaccess file is there the Post Archive links are still not working, they still produce a “Not Found” message.

    Hi ipstenu & seven26, I did another “Save Changes” on my Permalinks but it did not create an .htaccess file. So, I created and empty .htaccess file and Saved my Permalinks again, but the file is still blank. I never got a message on the bottom of the Permalinks links of any kind, only a message at the top of the page that said “Permalink stru cture updated.” What can I try next?

    Hi ipstenu, thanks for the response. After reading your reply I went to my Permalinks and did a “Save Changes” (even though I didn’t make any changes). I did not copy my .htaccess over from the previous site and I cannot retrieve it. However, I did try uploading various versions of .htaccess files that I found recommended for use on the web. None of them worked. Any ideas?
    Thank you.
