So is redirecting a common cause of this problem?

From what I’ve read a lot of people find the same 404 not found messages when trying to use “Pretty” permalinks.

Any info is appreciated, I don’t know a lot about this stuff.

Thanks,
Rob

I used to be with “DreamHost” but I made the site more minimal and moved to a free host “Zymic”.

The wordpress site is now with “Zymic” under a subdomain uuuq.com.

What could I change to allow both “Pretty” permalinks and the custom domain name to work?

I’m sure I can’t be the only person who has wanted to do this.

Thanks,
Rob

They have always been as:

WordPress Address (URL): https://sixfiftyseven.co.uk

Blog Address (URL): https://sixfiftyseven.co.uk

Any help will be much appreciated.

I am currently using “almost-pretty permalinks”: /index.php/%category%/%postname%/%post_id%
It works fine and dandy.

I want to switch to completely pretty permalinks by removing the /index.php part

I am having the exact same problem, except the solution has not worked for me. My blog is https://www.sixfiftyseven.co.uk and is hosted in the root directory of sixfiftyseven.uuuq.com.

Can anybody give me some insight as to why this would not work for me? I have a writeable .htaccess file. I am not an expert and this problem is driving me crazy, I just can’t see what I have done wrong.

Thanks,
Rob
