 * I changed the permalink structure of my site from default to postname, but this
   does not work: trying to access a post returns me the error 404.
 * Then I tried to try other types of permalinks, and everyone worked (except /%
   postname%/, of course). So I tried to create a custom permalink: /index.php/%
   postname%/. This works and I can not understand why.
 * I tried to change the theme and to set the structure postname and everything 
   works perfectly. From what can be due to the error?
 * This is my .htaccess file:
 * # 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
 * I also have Module rewrite already enabled and
 * <Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require
   all granted </Directory>
 * Still doesn’t work, any ideea?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpermalink-113%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

   late reply, because there is not fixing to this issue I’ve decided to remake 
   the whole work.
