Hi there i know many of you had this issue due to my searches and reading the topics but i couldnt manage to solve the problem thats why i needed to start this topic.

I updated my permalink structure to “day and name” then got this message :

“If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.”

my htaccess file looks like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /firstsketches/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /firstsketches/index.php [L]

i uploaded it to the default directory of my wordpress installation.

after i do that it gives me this error:

“403 Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /firstsketches/members/admin/ on this server.”

Now is my question where do i put the htaccess file? if i change the one who was on the server i get the same error. Tried to install a different wordpress, set the htaccess to chmod 777, installed bp manually but it just wont work. Would really be glad if someone could help me cuz bp is exactly what i need.

Thanks for your time
