That was what I had attempted before making this post. It seems like my .htaccess file was not updated by WP at all. WP used to provide a certain code for manually upating .htaccess should the file is not chmod to 666. But they don’t seem to provide that now. May I know what is that code so perhaps I could attempt that and see if my permalinks do work then?
I updated the permalinks. However, when I checked my .htaccess files, it does not seem updated. I did chmod my .htaccess file to 666. I’m not sure what codes I should manually input into my .htaccess files to update my permalink struture.
