Permalinks in Wordpress not working

Recently I have updated PHP from version 5.3 to 5.5 on my web server.

Wordpress Permalinks was working prior to that, but now Permalinks has stopped working, and I have to use the default option which gives the page id in url.

Wordpress version is 4.0.1

For some situations just resaving the permalink settings in Dashboard>Settings>Permalink>[postname]>Save Changes will refresh the .htaccess file.

If that is ignored, chances are that the .htaccess file is not writeable. In that case, check your apache.conf:

sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride ALL <----(edit from none)
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Then restart apache2 using:

sudo service apache2 restart

While there, be sure to double-check permissions and owner of the file:

-rw-r--r--  1 www-data www-data  1668 Jan  8 04:34 .htaccess

  1. Go to admin
  2. Click Settings
  3. Click Permalinks
  4. Select Post Name (for clean permalinks) or default
  5. Finally Click Save

This rewrites .htaccess and wordpress permalinks may work in most cases

if .htaccess is not created, make .htaccess with following

# 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

can you also confirm mod_rewrite is enabled in your server?
