URI for every post starts with index.php

  • You are mixing several issues here!
    1. The URIs in the Options > General should not affect your permalinks.
    Furthermore they should never(!) end with a filename – only directory name.

    2. If the permalinks work only with “index.php” inserted – that’s a server issue. Is mod-rewrite enabled? What is your permalink structure – from the Options > Permalinks page?

    Moshu – thank you for your advice!

    Spot-on, it appears to have been a mod-rewrite problem. Although it was installed it was not working properly. I did not change the configuration myself so I cannot give advice as to the exact fix.

    All my links are now working properly.

    This page gives incorrect advice I think:

    Step 4 says to set the URI to a file rather than a directory. It gives the example: “https://example.com/index.php”

    I believe it should say “https://example.com/”
