I have wordpress website on server, created pages and that's working fine, but when I download wordpress files and DB on local and want to run with localhost, permalinks for pages are not working.
It seems this is an old post, but this might help others that encounter same error.
Select:
Apache –> Apache Modules –> and that will display the lists of available modules.
Now just check rewrite_module.

Hope that helps.
Sometimes when copying from one server to another, wordpress' permalinks goes a little screwy, try setting them back to default (using the admin panel) and then setting them again to your desired permalink structure (being sure to apply the changes each time).
you need to go into the database and change a few options.
Goto your phpmyadmin installation and navigate to wp-options table. Change the siteurl and home options to your localhost address.
Wordpress needs these database tries to build your permalinks. If they are wrong, then it will direct your links to incorrect locations.
You can simply fix this by doing the following:
Go to settings in your WordPress site.
click on permalinks ( You will see the URL structures of your newly configured WP site. (if it shows your original website values, go to settings-> general and set your local site URLs
Don't do any changes, just click on the Save button.
Refresh your local site and click on your page link or post.

I have installed wordpress inside one folder called blog. when we open the blog, the blog links are broken 404 page error. How do i fix this issue, if its installed on root directory it will work, but this time it is directory, Is there any way to fix this issue
Normally such issues can be fixed easily by refreshing your permalinks. To do that go to WP > Settings > Permalinks and click on the save button once.
On some servers it is not allowed to edit .htaccess by clicking save in that section, therefore if you get an error; contact your hosting provider.
You may also want to check that the URL of your site corresponds to the URLs shown inside of WP > Settings > General.
First ensure your server support rewrite_ module
1.Login your WordPress dashboard
2. Click Settings
3.click Permalinks and change your permalink then click save
I am experiencing a problem with the wordpress migration.
I held my website on localhost beofre (xampp server in computer). It all worked fine so I decided to move it to a real domain. The website is http://www.cupavortex.ga .
I exported the database from phpMyAdmin in xampp, and imported it in the new database in the wordpress site. wp-config.php is already configured
The only thing working is the homepage and the buttons.
The images are not appearing.
And when I try to click on any link it redirects me to the old addresses (for example, when I try to click on “Desfasurare”, it redirects me to localhost/CupaVortex/desfasurare because that was the old link. I can’t acces wp-admin nor any administrative tools but phpMyAdmin and FileZilla.
Also, the site is hosted at 000webhost.com, and yes, I modified the mysql name to mysql4.000webhost.com from localhost, and replaced utf8mb4 with utf8 in order for everything to work. I just want to find out how to replace the links, I don’t really care about the images.. Theme used is Astrid.
Thanks in advance
Have you updated your database 'home' and 'site' url entries? This is done in wp_options, both need to be the new base url! After that, if thats the issue, you'll probably want to refresh your permalinks in the wp-admin settings section.
Go Back to your old local host website for a sec.
Steps:
Go to Settings->Permalinks and set it to numeric values.
Check if you have not used a custom link inside the website for any images or post or anything. If you do then change it to the new numeric values from it.
Now just export the sql datasheet and website back up from old host to new host.
Make sure you update ALL absolute links to posts, images, files etc.. by running the following plugin: "Velvet Blues Update url's"
What this will accomplish is (according to own personal experience and taken from plugin developer's page is)
FEATURES:
Users can choose to update links embedded in content, excerpts, or custom fields
Users can choose whether to update links for attachments

Manual website migration is very difficult to do. So you can transfer your website in few minutes without any issues using duplicator plugin. you just need to installed the plugin and followed the installation wizard.
you can read or watch step by step video tutorial HOW TO CLONE WEBSITE TO NEW HOST USING WORDPRESS DUPLICATOR
Go to your dashboard, log in, go to settings.
Change the following:
Site Address
Wordpress Address
Save. That should work.
did you try save permalinks some times the problem happen because permalinks need update
other point if you can go to old site and use this plugin to move your site agin

It turns out there were some issues with the httpd.conf file and httpaccess files. The permalinks and database details were correct. I got this outsourced in the end so not 100% sure what the issue was but I shall update this post with more info when I get it :)
I have installed WordPress on an add-on on BlueHost. The addon domain is linked to a sub-folder of the main domain FTP, called addondomain-folder.
When I go to addondomain.com, the WP site displays ok.
The problem is with the wp-admin panel. The panel displays incorrectly, has broken links to all images and stylesheets and I can not access any area as I always get redirected to: addondomain.com/addondomain-folder/wp-admin/... instead of addondomain.com/wp-admin/
I have checked the wp-options table in the database and both siteurl and home are set to addondomain.com
Any solutions to stop wp-admin thinking it is in a subfolder?
Ok, the problem was a hidden .htaccess file which messed everything up.
i made a mess of some kind my website was running perfectly but i did some changes to wpconfig i cant seem to remember and the result is that if i dont use permalinks and use simple page id the whole website works and if i try to use permalinks all the individual links break but home page as well as admin panel keeps working .
It always gives 500 internal server error
Any one got any ideas what could have gone wrong .
P.S.> I have deleted .htaccess and created a new one and copied the code given by wordpress but its still not working.
my website is NewsKase
I had the same problem. My WordPress site was running perfectly until I changed my permalinks. All my individual links break but the main page as well as admin panel keeps working. When I use simple page id as permalink the whole website works.
The are several thing that can cause this problem. The following post lists some possibilities you can go through to find the root of your permalink problem.
https://economictheoryblog.com/2016/07/29/self-hosted-wordpress-permalink-problems/
Try the following:
Get a fresh copy of wp-config.php and enter in your DB details
(username, pw, name, table prefix).
Delete htaccess file
Regenerate permalinks (admin - settings - permalinks)
Ensure server has mod-rewrite on
