I don’t know why I am having difficulties finding an answer for this, but I was. I am hoping it’s quick and painless.
This is my first attempt at a WordPress site. I created a number of pages which reside in a standard navigation. Currently the nav links look like such:
?page_id=2
I want link to be friendly such as:
/restaurant/
I went into the permalinks and tried messing around with the options and I got the URLs to change but on click I get a 404. What am I doing wrong?
two things i could think of
WordPress can’t write the .htaccess file (a warning should be displayed on the permalink page). In that case update it by hand with code shown on the site.
