Make certain the filename is .htaccess & that no extensions follow such as .txt * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573768) * okay it didnt work still 404 error * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573769) * this way did exactly as you said * dumlr.com / httpdocs / .htaccess * dumlr.com / httpdocs / wordpress / .htaccess * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573770) * OK–you’re on Windows. Leaving that error up for us to see was a good thing. Please rename the index.php & the .htaccess files in your *wordpress* folder to something like index1.php & htaccess. * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573771) * ok * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573772) * Root directory > httpdocs > wordpress > wp-content > index1.php * i did but still 404 error * but i didnt change .htaccess * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573773) * You’ve got to rename .htaccess in your /wordpress folder to something different, like htaccess. * Also, in your dashboard, under ‘Settings > General> please tell us what your siteurl & wordpress url read. * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573774) * MEANS “HTACCESS” NO EXTENSION * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573775) * [http://WWW.DUMLR.COM](http://WWW.DUMLR.COM) * RIGHT NOW IT IS SHOWINGLIKE THIS [http://dumlr.com/?p=123](http://dumlr.com/?p=123) * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573776) * There must not be any extension on the .htaccess file. .htaccess.txt *will not* work. * If you use notepad, save it as a type of “all files” so as not to add a .txt extension. * In order to use permalinks other than the default, Microsoft IIS 7+ web server with the URL Rewrite 1.1+ module and PHP 5 running as FastCGI must be enabled. You may need to inquire of your host regarding this. * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573777) * OKAY I DID THE SAME .htaccess AND WITH ALL FILES * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573778) * Please upload that to your httpdocs folder. * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573779) * WHERE? * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573780) * Please upload the .htaccess file to your httpdocs folder. * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/2/#post-5573781) * IT ALREADY IS THERE Viewing 15 replies - 16 through 30 (of 43 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/?output_format=md) 2 [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/?output_format=md) The topic ‘permalink problem’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [permalink](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/permalink/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 43 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * Last activity: [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/#post-5573795) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
