How to remove index.php from the URL of my wordpress blog?

Recently started my website / blog.

I tried configuring the Permalinks option in the wordpress admin. Without the index.php in the URL, it is not working. Why?

The custom option in Permalinks has to be /index.php/%post_name%/ to work. With this option the URL becomes something like this...

http://consumer-product-review.net/index.php/iphone-technological-“magic-touch”-from-apple/

What should I do to remove the index.php from the URL?

Any suggestions from the experts out there?

 

Change it from /index.php/%post_name%/ to /%post_name%/

 

i think he's saying that he tried that and it doesnt work.

what exactly do you put in for the permalinks?

 

Make sure the .htaccess is writeable or add the code they ask you to after you change the permalink structure.

 

I used the custom option and used /index.php/%post_name%/ in it.

 

Without index.php the link doesn't work.

 

.htaccess is writable. Is there anything that I should alter in that file?

 

You must be doing something wrong. Either your .htaccess isn't correct or it doesn't have write permission.

Seriously the best thing for you to do is search google for help. This is very well documented so you'll solve the problem kicker that way.

 

Is 644 permission is OK for .htaccess?

 

Tried changing the permission of .htaccess to 666....still not working.

 

Try 755, if that doesn't work try 777...

Edit: I just checked mine and it's 644, so there must be another problem.

Tell us what you have written on your .htaccess file...

 

I hv not written anything in .htaccess file. It has the default content only. Should I add anything in that?

 

# -FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName consumer-product-review.net
AuthUserFile /home/consumer/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/consumer/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
=============

This is the content of htaccess.

 

There's nothing in the from Wordpress. Make sure your .htaccess is writeable and you update your permalink structure.

 

This is what I have in mine:


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

# END WordPress

 

Wow...wow!!!

Thank you very much Emperor. I just copied what you gave me and appended it in the .htaccess file. IT WORKS NOW!

Thanks a lot!!!

(I thank others too for taking initiative to help me in this....Good Day!)

 

No prob, have a nice day

 

Hey Jackass,

Just wanted to come here from the future let you know that I got here via google. This is the first result for this topic. Your post is useless and actually damaging to people looking for the result.

There is nothing you have to work with WordPress, it purely a hosting thing.
Steps to resolve.

1) Make sure your .htaccess is existing in your WordPress root folder
2) If then 100%, it is a hosting issue. So you have to contact hosting support
3) Mine was digitalocean server, so I cleared it myself

Edited the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

Added this line after DocumentRoot /var/www/html

<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Restart your apache server

Note: /var/www/html will be your docuement root
