Hello Hossam,

Try setting your permalinks back to the default permalinks. Then access your site again and see if it works with the defaults.

Looks like you did everything correctly but sometimes you need to reset the permalinks. If that works, we won't need to do more. If it doesn't we'll take another look, but usually that works.

Let us know.

Hi,

I did that but in the first URL the option on Permalink Settings are
(Post Name) = (/%postname%/)
BUT
in second URL the option on Permalink Settings are
(Post Name) = (/index.php/%postname%/)

That is the setting the wordpress ware on when installing & editing the theme.

First: Why they are diffrent?
Second: i think the file on my servers .htacccess difrrent why that happen.

.htaccess for first URL:


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

# END WordPress

.htaccess for second URL:

there is no data inside ?????

please have a look with me if you have atime. i can send you FTP & admin details if they are needed my friends.

Thanks,
Hossam

WordPress should automtically write the htacess file for you.

If the htaccess file does not have the proper permissions WordPress can't write to it, so make sure it is CHMOD 644.

Here is a link to the codex with a wealth of information on permalinks. This may help you understand what is happening.
codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

You can write your own rules in the htaccess file if you need to.
