Unable to Publish page unless I change the Permalink to plain.

Does your web server have the Apache mod_rewrite enabled?

In your server configuration, try adding this:

<Directory /path/to/wordpress/goes/here>
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

The default for AllowOverride is “none”, which causes .htaccess to be ignored.

Replace /path/to/wordpress/goes/here with the patch to the directory that has your actual WP installation.

When done, restart Apache.

Thank you for prompt response.

I am sorry for bothering you. How do I know the file to add this code? Will adding the above code solve the problem I stated below.

1. Permalick issue.. unable to create/publish page if I change permalink from plain..
2. Site Icon /retina logo does not appear.
3. Unable to increase max_file_upload_size4

I hosted the website locally on a server, using linux server OS, apache …. I have edited php.ini file in this directory…. etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini…. Is it the same file I will add the directory you sent to me?

Also, do I need to enable “Apache mod_rewrite”?

And if I need to enable “Apache mod_rewrite” at command prompt, do I still need to add the code to any file within the server?

Thank you sir

Yes, you need mod_rewrite. You’d add those lines in the block of config where you define the virtual host settings for your website.

Thank you sir… The permalinks is working…

But now the question is, hope enabling the “Apache mod_rewrite” does not pose any insecurity on the website?

Thank you

It’s necessary for WordPress.
