   I am using 2.8.6 WP. I installed WP on my local machine. I am trying to use /%postname% but its not working and if I choose http://localhost/?p=123 its working fine. Its necessary that we have to use /%postname% option only. Can anyone please tell me how to fix this issue?

   Try using:
   /%postname%/

   Make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled. If you're using IIS though, it might be a different story...

   No same problem. I am using "wamp server". .htaccess always update when I change Permalink Settings.

   Can you use other Permalink structures ok? What actually happens, do you get 404's? Is mod_rewrite definitely active?

   When I update my Permalink Settings->sustom structure into /%postname% or /%postname%/ .htaccess update automatically

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   and when I try to open http://localhost/this-is-test then IE give me "The webpage cannot be found" error.

   Hi kzq could you please share what you changed in php.ini, i have installed my localhost manually and /%postname%/ is not working for me. I have enabled mod_rewrite in http config but not working.

    Options +FollowSymLinks

    Always required on my local install..

    Failing that check mod_rewrite is enabled in http.conf , it may be commented out ..

    Just a few suggestions.. ;)
