    Sounds like and issue with your WordPress .htaccess configuration. Please rename current .htaccess to .htaccess.bak and create a new .htaccess file with the following contents.

    # 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

    You can also refer the following WordPress documentation to get more information.

    Are you using Wamp server? If yes than you should do following

    Run wamp server > click on green wamp icon near clock > apache > apache modules > scroll to ‘rewrite_mod’ and click it so that it is checked. Restart wamp server and its done.
