Wordpress is in a subdirectory. I'm not completely sure how to write functions, but I'll give that a try! </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/even-using-plugins-permlinks-will-not-work#post-13541 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:39:21 +0000 helgatheviking 13541@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>did you try /%postname%/ or /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ ??</p> <p>is wordpress installed in your root directory? or s subfolder? the only thing i can think of to change permalinks from your theme's functions would just be using update_option which should accomplish the same thing as doing it manually. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/even-using-plugins-permlinks-will-not-work#post-13539 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:27:27 +0000 susan 13539@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I continue to get a 404 error when I change the permalinks - I've tried changing them manually in the setting using the proper tags, I've tried changing them with plugins - the link in wordpress does change but when I click to "view" the page I get a 404 error.</p> <p>Can permalinks be changed in the functions.php? </p>
