404 Error, Permalink in WordPress.

[unformatik]

Hi Friends,

I have just setup WordPress. In settings > Permalink I have selected Custom structure: /%category%/%postname%/ to change http://www.domain.ltd/?p=123 to http://www.domain.ltd/category/postname. The surprise is an 404 Error

Any idea to fix it, thanks

Check the .htaccess file in the root of your WP install, make sure it has something like this in it.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

I have this code


# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /services/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /services/index.php [L]

</IfModule>


# END WordPress
