How to rebuild WordPress permalinks
http://www.wpquestions.com/question/showLoggedIn/id/7313
So if I now have a few thousand posts (just imported from another blog), and I change the structure of the permalinks, and suddenly all the pages on the site give 404 errors, what is the easiest way to rebuild all the perma-links?

4:39pmLatinUnit says:Choose default permalink and save, then choose the new permalink structure, for best seo try /%postname%/ or /%category%/%postname%/ and save again
Then check the .htacess to see if it is like the following
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress- 09/25/12 4:50pm
LatinUnit says:If you have wordpress SEO, try deactivating it deleting it then reupload it, also flush your browser and the wp cache if any.
Very often is due to wordpress seo - 09/25/12 4:53pm
LatinUnit says:The following usually works also:
Go to Settings > Permalinks and click "Save Settings"
Go to SEO > Permalinks and click "Save Settings" - 09/25/12 5:17pm
Lawrence Krubner says:Nice call. The .htaccess file was missing. Fixed.

Good luck.
