Question

I have a permalink working but as soon as I create a post it tells me that soory post not found permalink setting is to "/%pagename%/" and here is .htaccess:

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

Answer 1

Do you have mod_rewrite installed on the server?

Answer 2

Try clearing the permalink setting in wp_options in the database and then reset permalinks in Wordpress.
