WordPress permalink change throws 500 Internal Server Error


I am changing my permalink structure in wordpress admin panel,

after changing this, when I click on post its throwing Internal server error

if changing it to default permalink structure , its working fine.

changing permalink setting in my localhost is working fine , but in staging server its throwing internal errors, I checked my .htaccess file in staging server , new rules are getting updated , but its showing internal error issue which is not coming in localserver.

I am using Wpengine webhost .

and I am in staging server mode.

How can I get rid of this problem


Solution

  • Talk to your webhost; your changes are not being written to .htaccess or your webhost doesn't allow .htaccess and mod_rewrite to be used.

    If you're on a Windows server, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite
