    For enabling pretty urls / permalinks, you have to enable Apache mod_rewrite.

    1. Start WAMP Server. Click on the WAMP Server icon in the tray. Go to Apache -> httpd.conf link on the list. Click on that file link. It will open httpd.conf file in notepad.
    2. Use the Find / Search function in Notepad and search for this line :

    # LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

    Remove that hash and a space before :

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

    Save it. Exit.

    3. Restrat WAMP.

    Permalink will work.
