Update .htacess For Wordpress
I am trying to customize the permalinks from the dashboard, from default to date and name based. But the links fail to work and I get an alert on the dashboard that “You should update your .htaccess now.”
Luckily all kind of instruction on how to do is available in the internet, else, I might not able to solve it by myself. 
Here is the thing you have to do to solve the problem.
- On the screen where WP tells you to need to update your .htaccess, scroll down to the bottom. There, you should find some code.
- Copy and paste that into your .htaccess file (which you will need to download on your computer and open via a simple text editor).
- Save it, and reload it onto your server and change permissions to 666.
- Then, update the permalink thing again, and then switch permissions of the .htaccess file back to 664.
Then try re-loading your site.

Ahh the internet what a wonderful thing. It seems lately there is no question we cant find the answer on the net.
One day at 3am some kid is going to be frustrated because he cant get permalinks to work he will go to Google do a search and read this post.
Great Job
