 * I am not really experienced in writing htaccess rules but I did successfully 
   managed it earlier on some other WP site. I would like to enable friendly links.
 * In server root I added .htaccess with following code:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Also in WP Permalink settings I enabled Custom structure: /%postname%
 * Problem is that all links are now friendly written and displayed correctly but
   none of the posts are available. I am receiving error 404 on all pages except
   home.
 * Old working link is:
    `http://domacifilmovi.info/?videos=mali-svet` New one with
   404 error: `http://domacifilmovi.info/videos/mali-svet`
 * Don’t know if has anything to do with, but I am using WordPress SEO by Yoast 
   plugin with default settings.
 * Thanks in advance.
