Permalinks not working; tried common fixes
-
Greetings!
I’m an amateur and a newbie, so please bear with me!
I’m hosting my site locally using Wamp. I’m using the premium theme Click mag. I’ve posted in their support form, but since I’ve had this issue with other free themes, I figured I’d open this up to the community at large and see if I can find some resolutions.
The facts:
Server: Local (Wamp)
Theme: Click Mag
WordPress Version: 4.9.1What’s happening:
When I change the permalink structure to anything other than the default, I receive the 404 error when I try to access internal pages.The homepage displays fine.
What I’ve tried:
Deleted the HTASSESS file. It recreates a new one with:# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /The%20Red%20Take/wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /The%20Red%20Take/wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
If I modify the HTACCESS content or delete it and then reapply the change to the permalinks, it automatically rebuilds the HTACCESS file the same as above.
I’ve checked Apache, and my rewrite module is active.
I’m lost. Can anyone please provide any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!
Chris

Check the httpd.conf file and add
<Directory /path/to/wordpress/installation> AllowOverride All </Directory>then restart WAMP.
(Note: I do not use Windows and have no idea what the correct path would be with WAMP.)
If that doesn’t work, you could get rid of WAMP and use Local By Flywheel to host your local installation.
