404 on all except home?

  • I am using WordPress locally. My home page works fine but I receive 404 errors for all other pages.

    It is not a permalinks issue – I put it back to default and it didn’t change anything.

    I think it must have something to do with set up but don’t know what. Can anyone help suggest things to try?

    Hi,
    Step 1: Admin > Settings > Permalinks and select Default and save changes
    Step 2: Go to Home page and refersh the home page and then open 404 page .

    Muhammad Mumtaz; thank you. I had the same issue; looked everywhere.

    Although the default link looks ugly, it works now.

    Hi,
    Great thanks to @mumtazkhan525.

    There is another solution, I just read about that recently, but unfortunately I do not know any more where I’ve seen it.

    The idea behind it: if on a local Apache server (maybe other servers too), the option to rewrite_module might be disabled.
    Click on apache-modules, scroll down a quit long list till you see rewrite_module, and see if it is enabled. If not click on it.

    After I did that, I could change my default for permalinks and all were rewritten.
