    Hello Everyone!

    I have following problem:
    I want to like using the permalink-function of wordpress to change the links of my site in “beautiful” ones. But when I chose an other option than “standard” I can’t go to my website and also to the dashboard. It shows an Error 404.
    I red that the reason could be, that my server don’t allow Mod_rewrite, but I asked my hoster and they said, it’s active.
    I tried a few things, for example to add the line:
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    but then it shows an Error 500 (Internal Server Error) instead.
    The only thing that help is to delete the .htaccess but this is’nt solve my problem.

    Please, I would be so happy if anyone could help with this problem, especially because I want to have the start page in a different directoy than the wordpress installation and I’m in sorrorw that this also doesn’t work

    And sorry for my eventually bad english, it’s not my mother tongue!
    Here a link to my website, for the case, it could help:

  • Try these:
    – deactivate all plugins
    – switch to Twenty Twelve theme
    after the above steps, try to change permalinks. You can revert to your current theme and plugins later.

    Hello Krishna!

    Thank you for your answer!
    I deactivated all plugins and swtiched to Twenty Twelve, but when I change the permalinks it’s the same like the old situation :/
    It’s so annoying. Could be there any other resolutions? :/

    Can you try any other permalink setting other than the custom setting and the default?

    Yes I tried, the other settings also does’nt work, It’s always the same :/

    Edit: I don’t know, if it’s important, but when I change, it isn’t a Error 404, it’s a Error 403

    Though it sounds silly, are you saving the changed permalink by clicking on Save Changes?

    Also, can you post here what you have in your .htaccess file?

    hihi, yeah I clicked the save change buttons, and when I do, it comes to the crash I described.

    sure!

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

# END WordPress

    Also i searched a little bit how I can check if the mod_rewrite work correct, and I found this:
    https://www.blogging-it.com/apache-mod_rewrite-modul-testen/server/apache-web-server.html
    Yeah, it’s in german, but I the important fact is the code and the files. I uploaded to https://www.georgs-kirche.de/test/index.php
    and there is also an Error 500! Should I request my hoster again?

    Yes, please contact your host.
