   I have a Chinese blog http://fx8811.com, and the permalink is set as "/%postname%/", basically, the permalink has chinese keyword for pretty looking and seo purpose. all pages are fine when clicked through site navigation. However, I am getting 404 error when copy and paste the individual link with chinese character into address bar, and the link come with strange character like : http://fx8811.com/%E5%A4%96%E6%B1%87%E5%AD%A6%E5%A0%82/%E5%A4%96%E6%B1%87%E5%AD%A6%E5%89%8D%E7%8F%AD/ instead of proper link.
   I have search the support forum to find the answer with no luck.
   really hoping someone can advice.
   Thanks

   John

   Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings -> Permalinks. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

   Thanks, Esmi

   i reset the permalinks back to default. it works.and I have also review the Using_Permalinks section which you refered, however, it's kind of confusion. I am not sure if the below information is what you refer to :
   "Using "Pretty" permalinks
   Requirements:

   Apache web server with the mod_rewrite module installed
   In WordPress's home directory,
   The FollowSymLinks option enabled
   FileInfo directives allowed (e.g. AllowOverride FileInfo or AllowOverride All)
   An .htaccess file (if this file is missing, WordPress will try to create it when you activate "pretty" permalinks)
   If you want WordPress to update the .htaccess file automatically, WordPress will need write access to the file."

   I am not good at technical staff, i am using window 7, how can I find apache seb server, can you please kindly direct me step by step how to
   complete the whole proecss

   many thanks

   Re you running WordPress locally? If so, are you using WAMP or something similar?

   I have the same problem.

   Locally, on my Mac OSX with Apache/PHP/MySQL, or on my server with Red hat/Apache/PHP/MySQL (latest).

   Same problem. What's the answer to this?

   Hi erick_paper,

   It's considered impolite to interrupt someone's thread with your own question. You'll find plenty of help if you create your own thread.

   Why should I raise my own ticket when the issue is exactly the same? Anyway, will do, looks like this forum has its own set of policies. Thx
