   Over a week ago, on my local WAMP setup, I changed the website and blog urls in the admin general settings, and then moved my files to what I believed would be the new server path, and created a big mess.

   Anyways, after much frustration, I ended up just moving my new Theme online (live) to where my site was, and got it all working. Today, I just uninstalled WAMP and deleted my wordpress setup, locally. Then reinstalled WAMP, FTP'd by Theme and MySQL from my CPanel down, and got it all up and running here locally.

   So my front page looks perfect (everything in place, including content (database), but my links (permalinks) are all dead links. And, accordingly my Login page doesn't work.

   When I hover over them they are correct (i.e. http://localhost/page). I've been looking through my phpMyAdmin at the wp-options tables to see if there's anything that needs to be changed regarding permalinks, but I can't find anything.

   Can anyone help?

   Thanks.

   don't bump against forum rules

   If you want to use permalinks, you will need to make a change inside another file:
   file httpd.conf. Open that in a text editor. Use the search facility in the editor to find "rewrite". The line you need looks like this:

   #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

   You need to take away the hash sign so it looks like this

   LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

   Now just save the file.
