 * Hi,
 * I’m having issues with my permalinks using woocommerce 2.6.1.
 * In Settings->Permalinks->”Product Permalinks”, when I select any other parameter
   than the default one, I get a 404 error on every woocommerce page : shop, cart,
   product pages …
 * The new url of the product pages is the one expected but it can’t reach the page.
 * Thanks in advance.
    Regards

 * Sounds like a plugin conflict to me. Have you tested on an install with just 
   WC active?

 * Thanks for your response,
    Yes, I’ve tested with a new installation of wordpress,
   I only installed a woocommerce compatible theme (store front) and woocommerce
   plugin. There are no other plugins installed …

 * Do permalinks work for normal pages/posts?

 * They work only when I choose the “simple” permalink option for the article. When
   I select another choice, I get a 404 error.

 * Then this means permalinks are not supported on your install. You need to use
   default.

 * What can I do to have them supported ? Should I change some options in my virtualhost
   file ?

 * I’m not sure, it depends what you’re running your local server with. We don’t
   support server config here, it’s not related to WooCommerce.
 * When you move your site live I doubt it will have the problem. Most hosts support
   it out of the box.

 * I finally find out what the problem was. In my VirtualHost file, I had the option:
   AllowOverride None (on my website folder).
    That means that .htaccess file were
   ignored. I changed it with : AllowOverride All So now URL can be modified by 
   Apache mod_rewrite using the rules in the .htaccess file.
