My problem is in my wordpress site only default permalinks is working.. When I change permalinks all pages become not found.. only home page is showing.
When I change permalinks to postname .htaccess content change to
# 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
And for default it is
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress
Also tried to get the status of mod_rewrite using this
in_array( 'mod_rewrite', apache_get_modules())
It returns 1 and mod_rewrite is enabled on my server and also checked using phpinfo(). mod_rewrite
module is loaded.. I have gone through all the documents available in inte.net.. Please help me to solve this problem.. My hosting server is godaddy..
In case you are on Ubuntu, edit the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (here we have an example of /var/www):
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
and change it to:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
also check Apache configuration file for your website /etc/apache2/sites-available/your_site.conf:
<Directory /var/www/your_site_path/>
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
and change it to:
<Directory /var/www/your_site_path/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
You need to do sudo a2enmod rewrite to enable module rewrite
then,
sudo service apache2 restart
I hope this helps you!
It could be a broken rewrite_rules
field in your database.
I installed "Yoast SEO" into a live site and that broke it completely. I disabled the plugin but it didn't go back to working. Only default permalinks would work.
Like everyone else I tried the usual things - checking .htaccess
, making sure that mod_rewrite
was working on the server, saving the permalinks settings again, but nothing was working. The homepage would load, and wp-admin
pages would load, but everything else was just loading the "Latest Posts" default page.
In the end it turned out to be something wrong with the rewrite_rules
field of wp_options
in the database.
I had three versions of the site (local, staging and production), and all were from one SVN base, so I knew it was not a file issue. But only the local development version was working.
I replaced the contents of the rewrite_rules
field of the broken live site with the working one from my local development site, and it worked.
What's really weird is that deleting the rewrite_rules
field and having WordPress rebuild it did not fix the problem. Only replacing with the contents of a previously working version of the site did the trick.
I'm still puzzled by this, and will edit this reply if I find out anything further about the problem.
I had the exact same issue and fixed it by running
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Then restarted apache. Apparently the issue is caused by mod_rewrite
potentially not working properly on ubuntu.
I found the solution here
suffered from the same issue. Having site on SSL had to change NOT the 000-default.conf but the respective SSL conf file. Adding
after DocumentRoot /var/www/html
the following
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
and then restarting apache2 saved my site.... nothing else worked. The issue was Wordpress SSL and SEO plugins messing up config files.
Not sure this is too late. i faced the same issue and solved by changing
AllowOverride None
to
AllowOverride All
in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-deafult.conf file. hope this would help.
I had this issue in Wordpress installed on CentOS7 and the solution was to edit httpd.conf file with this command:
sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
And replace
<Directory "/var/www/wordpress">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>
with
<Directory "/var/www/wordpress">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
then restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
I faced the same challenge after setting up WordPress on Ubuntu 22 and configuring an SSL certificate for the site. This is how I was able to resolve it.
Open the apache config file for editing (using nano in this case)
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Change the following line:
<Directory "/var/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>
to:
<Directory "/var/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Open the default SSL config file for editing
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf
Add the following code:
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Restart Apache
sudo service apache2 restart
You should now be able to change the site permalink structure without seeing the 404 page not found error.
