   Hello,

   I'm testing wordpress.org on a local server right now. How can I change the URL of a post when it's opened?

   In the admin I go to permalinks --> Customisable and then fill in /%postname%/

   The URL is changed but the blog says it can't find the page.

   Thank you

   When you edit the permalinks structure WP will try to create/edit the .htaccess file on your server. If it can't, you'll get a message instructing you on what to put in the .htaccess file. Did you do any of that?

   Also, "Starting Permalinks with %postname% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons", just so you know.
