I had this problem and couldn’t work out what I’d done wrong<\/p>\n
I installed WordPress in a .com\/blog directory<\/p>\n
It all went well. I could log in to admin and I could see the live blog. Then I went into Settings>Permalinks to change Default to Post Name and then when I saved changes I was directed to the log in page and the log in no longer let me in…and the public side didn’t work either.<\/p>\n
If this happens to you it’s likely there’s something wrong with the .htaccess file and here’s a quick fix<\/p>\n
delete your current .htaccess in the \/blog directory
\nupload a new blank replacement .htaccess
\nset chmod permissions to 666
\nLog in to wp-admin and set permalinks to desired url structure
\nReturn to .htaccess file and set permissions\u00a0back to 644 for security<\/p>\n
It should now work correctly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
