How to Enable Permalinks in WordPress – Yahoo Hosting

Problem : WordPress Permalinks don’t work on Yahoo! hosting because they do not give their users access to the htaccess file – which means you cannot create the mod_rewrite rules needed for custom permlinks. Any other WordPress feature.. addon or plugin that you may need your .htaccess file for? Forget it – they do not give you access to it. Period.

Solution: Go to Permalink Settings > Select Custom Structure. And define the value as /index.php/%postname%/ Then your URL will look like http://yoursite.com/index.php/your-post-title.

Huh finally Permanlinks are enabled for my blog. Just incase if you dont know, Permalinks will help you on SEO. Yes Yahoo hosting sucks !
