Permalinks issues

Hi!

Do you have FTP access to your account? If yes, please check if there is a file called .htaccess in the root folder or your WordPress installation. Also contact your hosting to ask if you have the correct read/write permission for the .htaccess file.

A functioning .htaccess file for post name should read something like this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Cheers!

Hi!

It looks correct to me but since it’s not working there must be something wrong, could you try to explain the problem to your hosting company and see if they can help out?

Hi!

That seems unlikely unless you made any changes in Settings–>General?

I think this will be solved if you ask your provider to delete the .htaccess file for you.

Best regards,

Hi!

I had a look at your backend and everything looks ok but I’m getting 404’s when switching to postname as well. I’m guessing you are using this server as development? Have you had a similar issue on other sites? I would recommend you to contact your host as this is most likely a server error.

Hey!

I’m not quite sure what it could be, that’s why it would be best for you to contact the host. Just tell them exactly what the problem is, they will most likely know how to fix it.

Cheers!
