 * Hello,
 * When I update the permalink structure of new website from Plain to Post Name,
   it gives 404 Error.
 * This is the error I get:
 * “Not Found
 * The requested URL /take-a-tour/ was not found on this server.”
 * I tried to find some solutions online and updated my .htaccess file with the 
   below code but problem still continues. What could be the problem and its possible
   solution?
 * _[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or 
   [use the code button](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).]_
 *     ```
       #BEGIN WordPress
   
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php $ - [L]
       RewriteCond % {REQUEST_FILENAME} ! -f
       RewriteCond % {REQUEST_FIELENAME} ! -d
       RewriteRule ./index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       #END WordPress
       ```

 * Try changing to default WordPress theme like Tweentysixteen and then revert back
   to your theme. Disable plugins one by bone and see if it resolves

 * Thank you but this method didn’t resolve the issue.
    I have tried this method
   and tried it again but didn’t help. 🙁

 * [@kryptojdubai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kryptojdubai/): I see a typo
   in your `.htaccess`:
 * `RewriteCond % {REQUEST_FIELENAME} ! -d`
 * So, correct that line so it looks like this instead:
 * `RewriteCond % {REQUEST_FILENAME} ! -d`
 * and then see if that makes any difference for you.

 * Thanks Girlie.
 * That typo wasn’t in the actual .htaccess, the actual one had correctly mentioned.
 * However, I have fixed the problem now.
 * Had to add `Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride FileInfo` in the directory.
 * The problem is resolved.
 * Thank you all.
