“Pretty Permalinks” 404 Server Error

  • Hi all,

    Getting those “pretty permalinks” to work is a struggle. I’ve put “https://www.sitename.com.au/wp/page-title” as the custom permalinks structure under Settings -> Permalinks and i get the link i want but when said link is actually clicked i get a “404 – File or directory not found.”

    I’ve read the WP doc on pretty permalinks and have followed what’s said about the “.htaccess” file however it doesn’t seem to help. I’ve created a .htaccess file in with my index.php containing the following:

    ‘# BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-content.*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-admin.*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^wp-include.*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress’

    Still no luck. Can’t help but feel i’m missing something simple. Any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    No luck ?? Any other ideas?

    do you have your own server or r you running on hosting provider company server?

    Hi,

    Set your desired permalink and add this code in htaccess of your blog:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Thanks,

    Thanks Shane, but i still get the same 404 error.

    Kzq – I don’t have direct access to the server but i can get anything changed/installed if needed. That’s what i’m thinking the problem is at this point. Is there something on the server-side that needs rectifying do you think?

    Exactly what permalink structure are you using?

    I put in ‘https://sitename.com.au/wp/%postname%&#8217;

    ‘/http:/sitename.com.au/wp/%postname%’ is what WP alters it to. But yeah you get the idea.

    Try using just /%postname%/

    Still gives me a server error…

    Thats why I asked you if you have your own server then you need to change some parts in your php.ini because I resolved this issue 6 days ago. Well best of luck Wizbian01.

    Do your web application come with mod_rewrite module?

    Kzq – What do i need to change in the php.ini?

    Mick – I will find out if it does. ??
