# Custom Permalink Error

 * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-permalink-error-1/)
 * I have installed WP into sub-domain site.co.uk/shop
 * I installed .htaccess file with the following code
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
 * Problem is when I use custom structure /%postname%/ (**ie.** site.com/shop/sample-
   post ) it leads to _page cannot be found error 404_
 * But when i use the site.com/shop/index.php/sample-post it works.
 * Can’t seem to work the problem out so all help and advice will be much appreciated.

 * Change the _RewriteBase_ and check if there is a .htaccess file in root with 
   WP rewrite rules..
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /shop/
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```

 * Hi
 * Thank you for your reply. I tried the above but sadly did not work. I tied this
   in wwwroot and also in sub domain but sadly no joy.
