    So it seems the client hadn’t enabled all the permissions needed for htaccess… once they figured out what to do with their Amazon cloud server AND gave me proper ftp access everything went soothly!

    Thanks for checking back

    Hi thanks for that,

    I have installed the access control plugin and it now shows the content of htaccess.

    BUT… I am still not having any success with the pretty permalinks.

    Starting to think there is something basic about the installation that is wrong. Unfortunately that side of things has been set up and is controlled by someone else. if its helpful the site can be found here http://54.76.14.74/sites/

    I have had this site and permalinks working properly on my own server, where I can see the htaccess file and have full control.

    is there any other info I can provide to help troubleshoot this?

    thanks for getting back to me

    yes so every time I enable pretty permalinks to match the original site I get 404 errors. having done a search for this issue it seems that this is most likely an .htaccess issue.

    on looking throught the site directory via filezilla ftp there is no .htaccess file, I have tried to create a new one with the following code, but as soon as I upload it, it dissappears.

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

    however when I try to create the file via the miwoftp plugin I get an error which says .htaccess already exists.

    I really have no clue where to go with this, any ideas?

    many thanks for that. I used all in one and it migrated… although I now have another issue.

    the products that were on the original host, are all listed, are all editable but whenever I go to view product from the published site OR the edit page I get a 404.

    so i can get the front page that I have set up here but no further than that. for comparison, the originally hosted site was here

    I have compared all the settings of both hosts within the UI and as far as I can see they are identical.

    any ideas
