<\/p>\nThere is a problem that when our users work with WordPress installations on a local server, they cannot get the permalink rewrite rules to work. Even though they tried to enable custom permalinks, they still got a 404 error.<\/p>\n
To get rid of this problem, you need to enable the rewrite module in your WAMP, XAMPP or MAMP installation. Start by finding the WAMP icon in the taskbar and go to Apache \u00bb Apache modules. This brings up a long list of modules that you can enable or disable. Find the \u201crewrite_module\u201d module and tick it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After that, your custom permalink structure should work immediately.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, you can edit the local server’s configuration directly. Go to the Apache folder, then to the \u201cconf\u201d configuration folder. Find the httpd.conf file. Find this line in it:<\/p>\n
