WEIRD Permalinks Problem

    Hello,

    Permalinks can be changed to:
    Default – /?page_id=323 OR /%postname% with or without the trialing slash. That’s it.

    No errors or warnings, it just doesn’t work.

    I’ve reinstalled WP several times, and overwritten the files via FTP.

    I enabled WP_Debug but there’s no output on the screen or in the log file.

    I disabled all plugins, then changed to both 2018 theme and 2020 theme with no joy.

    I created rules in my .htaccess file to accomplish my needs, but that doesn’t work either.

    This is a dedicated Ubuntu server with tons of other websites (all mine) that use mod_rewrite without issue.

    You can set the permalinks to any type of structure you like, but you will only get /%postname%

    Any ideas?? I’ve never seen this before.

    THANKS ALL

    What is your website URL?
    What is the permalink structure you want to set?
    What is your .htaccess file content?
    What is the web server? (Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, etc)

    Thank you @lcf

    I resolved this a few hours ago.
    Apparently WordPress no longer allows your Permalink structure to cover “Pages”.

    I wanted a file extension on my page URL’s but now you need a plugin like:
