Permalinks Wont Work

1. I left my former host because of their site load speed. I tested all, Yahoo seemed the fastest so i decided to move to them.

   Now i realize after migrating that they don't have Mod_Rewrite Enabled on their server, so wordpress cannot write to .htaccess and i wrote them and apparently they cannot get that working for me any time soon. Migrating again will be such a pain.

   and Buddypress needs mod_rewrite that to work.

   i tried to bypass that issue by using /index.php/ before my permalink structure. It works but doesnt work for pages specific to buddypress.

   what can i do please. ?

2. Wordpress's entire structure is based on mod_ rewrite so I don't think there is anything you'll be able to do to get around it. There are a lot of hosts out there so I would look for another one that does proper Linux hosting.

3. which one do you suggest i use?

   site load speed is of real concern to me..

   i also found out that if i enter the address as http://mysite.com/index.php/activity/ it opens the activity of buddypress as http://mysite.com/activity/ will do..

   so its there a way i can add that all the buddypress pages have the /index.php/ put in front of them automatically. so that when users click on the links..

   seems like a workaround that will work

   thanks for your response by the way

4. That workaround might work, but you're really crippling things and asking for trouble. Since that's a default requirement of wordpress, you're likely to run into issues with plugins and it will be hard to troubleshoot issues if you need help from someone.

   mod_rewrite does have a little overhead but you can use things like caching like w3-totalcache or hypercache to try to speed up load times. Also, minifying your css and js can help.
