I just started a new WP installation and my permalink settings are not saving. I have chosen the ‘Month and name’ option (/2014/06/sample-post/), but when I create a new post, the text shows up as /2014/06/sample-post/, but the link goes to the default ?p=x. When I go to /2014/06/sample-post/ with the correct information for the post, I get a not found error. ?p=x works and shows the post.
The changes appear to save successfully (‘Permalink structure updated.’) although the .htaccess does not change – is it supposed to?
Is there anywhere that the setting is stored that I can manually change?
This is my .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Thanks in advance for any help!
