   I am not able to switch to pretty permalinks in WAMP. Changing to any form other than default gives 404 error.
   I have switched on the rewrite_module in Apache. I googled the problem and found that following changes should be made to httpd.conf file. My httpd.conf file stands as
   

   <Directory />
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride All
       Order deny,allow
       Deny from all
   </Directory>

   I also checked that the .htaccess file is getting created. It reads as
   

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /vit%20web/events/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /vit%20web/events/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   got the same problem, this help me

   specifically this :

   18. Type “mod_rewrite” in the find what box and click “Find”. It will find the word in that file and highlight it for you.

   19. Just remove the “#” symbol present at the start of that mod_rewrite line. (This is to “switch on” the mod_rewrite rule which will then only allow you to have pretty permalinks in wordpress)
