Hi Nathalie. Thanks a million! That was indeed the trick. I changed the name in the Theme in Settings-general (I took out the %20 bits) and then changed the name of the websitefolder (in the htdocs folder of Mamp) accordingly. At first the mywebsite link from the Mamp startpage would then not open to the website. But then manually changing the name in the addresswindow to the new one without the spaces got me there. After that it all seemed to work. Even changing it back to default and vice versa worked.

Thanks again!

Hi shecodes/Nathalie. Could you do me a big favor and explain in a little more detail how you solved the problem with the permalinks and .htacces? I’m having the same trouble except that my mamp still works. I have tried all the mod_rewrite and FollowSymLinks and AllowOverride All tips in all the forums that I’ve found but still no result. WordPress keeps saying: The requested URL /Test030WP/index.php was not found on this server.
I am working on OS 10.9.4 with Firefox 42, MAMP 3.4 and WordPress 4.3.1

I’m kinda new at this game and especially the MySQL bit is daunting.

Much appreciated if you could help out of maybe you have a link.
Thanks
Colin
