hey,

Theme type – Agency
Dev env – locally with virtual hosts using MAMP

I changed the permalinks from ‘plain’ to ‘postname’ using ‘Settings->Permalinks’ in wp-admin. However, after this all the pages display 404 errors when viewed, even though they seem to be pointing at the correct URL’s e.g. my http://new.ro/about page is what is displayed in the header main nav and that matches the url displayed if I view the page in wp-admin. However, selecting to view the URL in either the wp-admin page or by clicking on the nav on the front end leads to a 404. This happens for all pages. If I set the permalinks back to plain, all the links work again.

Thoughts?

cheers

Here is what the .htcaccess file looks like (after the change).

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

# END WordPress
