404 not found error on almost every link or when clicking next / done

    I’m testing the free CoursePress plugin to see if it’s worth it to buy the Pro version on a clean 4.3 WordPress install on wampserver. Just updated the plugin to Version 1.2.6.0.

    I cannot make it work. I mean, the course I create (and even the sample course) starts but I always get a 404 error when going to the next page or section.
    For example the “Courses” link on the top menu points to “https://localhost/hrlms/courses” and I get a not found error. It only works if I manually add “https://localhost/hrlms/index.php/courses/”

    I’m thinking it could be the permalink structure.
    Is there a guide on how to properly setup the permalink structure to work with this plugin?

    Just like to add that I don’t have any other plugins installed and I have tried all the options below in Permalink Settings.

    Default	https://localhost/hrlms/?p=123
 Day and name	https://localhost/hrlms/2015/08/28/sample-post/
 Month and name	https://localhost/hrlms/2015/08/sample-post/
 Numeric	https://localhost/hrlms/archives/123
 Post name	https://localhost/hrlms/sample-post/
 Custom Structure	https://localhost/hrlms  "/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/"

    Only the Custom Structure above even makes the courses start properly, but like I mentioned earlier, I have to manually add “index.php/” in the address bar…

    I would like to be able to make this work so I can show a working demo to our HR department so they can decide if it’s worth it to buy CoursePress Pro.

    Resolved: rewrite_module in wampserver wasn’t running.

    Just go to
    Wampserver > Apache > Apache Modules > rewrite_module
    and make sure it’s ticked, or else permalinks won’t work/change no matter what you enter/select in Permalink Settings in wp-admin.
