permalink is not working in any format (404) except https://domain/index.php/page1

  • I’m new to wordpress, i just heard about it this january. I’ve been having problems with the pretty permalink.
    Whenever i change to /%year%/%post_name%/ … It always gives me a nasty 404, but if i use info path and add index.php before the custom permalink, it works perfectly well. I really don’t like the default ugly permalink or the path info style. Can anyone help. Pls i’m a newbie… Easy with the terms… Thank you

    I’ve read the documentation on permalinks… I tried the procedures stated on my laptop (localhost) test site. I use xampp on my laptop for testing.
    I opened the apache httpd.conf file and enabled the line that stated
    loadmodule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    by removing the # sign at the begining of the statement.
    Also, the documentation made mention of a web.config file in the wordpress installation folder, i searched for such a file, there was none.
    I’m so confused… Does permalink really need this much technical knowledg? Please i’d appreciate a step by step tutorial on activating permalink using xampp… Thank you very much.
