wordpress permalinks not working - htaccess seems ok but getting 404 error on pages

Question

I updated the permalink structure to /%postname%/ and this updated my .htaccess with:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
Rewri         


        

Answer 1

use below .htaccess code, just put your project name (which is in www directory) in below code

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /project_name/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /project_name/index.php [L]


# END WordPress

Thanks
