WordPress permalinks Yahoo hosting(no .htaccess allowed)

Yahoo doesn’t allow users access to the htaccess file which means that you can’t the mod_rewrite rules needed for custom permlinks.
The Only way around it that i’ve heard it works (never tried it myself) is to add /index.php/ to the beginning of your custom structure so:
Go to Permalink Settings > Select Custom Structure. And set the value as /index.php/%postname%/
or what ever you want as long as you add /index.php/ before it.

Hope this helps.
