How do I configure pretty urls on my WordPress blog?

2 Views

I am new to WordPress (and PHP). I am trying to make WP MVC’s sample run on my wordpress:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mvc/

I added the plugin and can see data listed in my events menu but when I click View, it tries to browse:

http://localhost/mysite/events/1

and it can’t I get 404 error and I suspect it is most probably due the fact that WordPress is not configured for pretty urls.

So I went in my admin site and under Settings/Permalinks I selected 2nd option of Day and name and I still get 404 error. Also on my home pages my posts disappeared and I get: 

Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.

Has anybody had any experience with WP MVC?

PHP is making my head hurt:(

  1. I am not a PHP guy but can try going into your httpd.conf and see if your rewrite module is commented or not. If there is any # in front of it remove it and then restart wamp and try. I think this is mostly due to the fact that your module is not enabled. Let me know if it helped you.

    Specifically this line:

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

    Make sure there is no # in front of it.

  2. When you set a permalink structure in Settings > Permalinks, WordPress attempts to write an .htaccess file to the root of your site, probably similar to this default:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    My file permissions are locked down a bit tighter than that, so I see the suggested contents at the bottom of the Permalink page, with some brief instructions. Are you seeing something similar? Did WordPress create an .htaccess file? Do you have mod_rewrite installed? (I don’t recall if WordPress can autodetect mod_rewrite.)
