• Is it Apache? Is mod_rewrite installed and enabled? Wordpress is in the root directory or subdirectory? – nmr Commented Mar 20, 2019 at 7:20

If you have dedicated server then you must follow the below steps to run with .htacess

first of note that you need to create a configuration file for each site on your server using FTP.

as below

/etc/apache2/sites-available

go above path and then create file with below formate

e.g.

domain_name.domain_extension.conf

{ hello.conf }

add below code into it

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    ServerName hello
    ServerAlias www.hello
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html  # your site data path
    <Directory "/var/www/html"> # your site data path
       Options FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride All  
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
    </Directory> 
    ErrorLog /dev/null
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined  # to check your log 
</VirtualHost>

after setup it.

please switch your permalink two-time vice versa and update your link in WordPress database.

and check I hope its working.

If not working, please restart apache server then.
