    Dear WordPressers,

    I have encountered problem with redirection.
    I’ve created whole site with default permalink domain.com/?p=1.
    In the end i wanted to change to pretty links like domain.com/kontakt.

    In the beginning i’ve reach to the wordpress codex to see if everything with .htaccess and rewrite rules is alright. And it seems it is.

    ‘# 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`

    I’ve checked if paths in database are ok. And also seems alright.

    path: ‘http://domain.com/?page_id=38&#8217;
    postname: ‘kontakt’

    Did anybody had similar problem?

    I must mention that i’m not php expert. I’m more a graphic designer then web developer but wordpress is really user friendly tool and i’ve never had such a problem.

    I’ll be grateful for any help.

    It sounds as though your web server does not have the rewrite module enabled. This is required in order to use anything other than the default permalinks.

    If this is a local site running on WAMPServer, then here is how to fix this issue as WAMPServer’s Apache web server does not have this enabled by default:

    – click the green W icon for WAMPServer in the system tray
    – select Apache > Apache Modules > scroll down the list to see rewrite_module and click on it to set the check mark
    – restart Apache

    If the site is on a hosting account, then you should contact your host’s support with how to enable the module.

    Thank you very much for your response, but i’ve managed to resolved it myself.
    I’ve simply deactivated all plug-ins, change to /%postname%/ and i’ve started to activate them one by one.
    Without apparent reason it started to work.
    I’ve no idea what was wrong but now works perky 🙂

    Maybe you know what could be the problem? So other might resolve their problems.

    And thank you very much for your response. WordPress community amaze me every time. It’s sunday, 11:48, and someone spends his time to help someone…, so please don’t forget you’re awesome!
