Permalink Problem

Check if mod_rewrite is loaded on your web server and it’s active on your WordPress directory.

For your WordPress directory you should have something like this in your Apache2 configuration.

<Directory>
          AllowOverride All
</Directory>

If you make any changes to any configuration files make sure you make a backup copy first.

Once the mod_rewrite module is active and allowed for that directory then permalinks should work for you.

Thanks for that, unfortunately I have no idea where to find the apache 2 configuration… or check if mod_rewrite is loaded on the server… Here’s a screenshot of the root directory if it helps?

I’m not really fluent with this stuff – Could you explain in newbie language how to check if mod_rewrite is loaded on the server?

Thank You

I have spoken to my developers and the support crew at the hosting company, they have looked into the issue and say that mod_rewrite is active and working fine.

The issue still persists…

Any other suggestions?

Deactivate all plugins, revert to Twenty Twelve theme and try to reset permalinks.

tried that, still same issue…

You are running WordPress 3.5.1. Update WordPress to the latest version and then try changing permalinks.

BTW, have you checked your apache 2 configuration as Jan advised above?

Yes I checked apache 2 configuration as Jan advised, I have also updated to latest wp version including all plugins. Problem still exists.

Something strange is going on as I see your permalinks are set to custom but they do not work. Same is the case with read more link. Can you check what you have in your .htaccess file and copy and post it here?

I’m having the same problem…can someone running the latest version of WP with a custom permalinks share what their .htaccess is?

Here’s mine:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

This is a brand new install with only a few plug ins

Hi All, I found a guy on Fiverr.com who fixed the issue in minutes.

Check the attached image., Iine no 6. Which redirect all /filename to the host URL .

So the wp – permalinks was not working (Line no 18-27).

Now I removed line no 6. Then Fine.
