Hi guys. I am trying to change my wordpress permalinks locally on my mac to /%postname%/ .
I use terminal to show hidden files : defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
but how the hell do I create a .htaccess file? Do I create it through TextEdit?
All links work fine using default permalinks but when I change the radio button to postname I get a error 404. Have created a static page for my site and the homepage displays fine but the other links get the 404 error.
Need to create htaccess file and enter the following:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
And that will hopefully work
Can someone help please.
Regards
Darren
