How to change permalinks structure?

I’m having the same issue! I tried to change the home page Permalinks to https://www.margiepeng.com/home and now the link won’t work. before it was something weird “www.margiepeng.com/page_id4”

Now the link doesn’t work. How do I change the name, but make it still work?

You should get a message if your .htaccess file (file that make permalinks work) is not writable. Alternatively, you can just create a file over there with the rules

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

>>Please somebody help me:((

Crisis solution: pick the default option (first) – to get it to work in the meantime.

My blog is hosted by a Windows server ?? When I change permalink structure, no message appeared! It only said:…succeed @@
