Wordpress permalinks not working - how to fix

What is WordPress (WP) Permalinks?
In normal, your WP post url likes "yourdomain/index.php?p=postID", and it is not good for SEO (I will explain why that in a future post). Blogger often use post name to rewrite url, for example "yourdomain/how-to-fix-permalinks"... And WP provide this feature in Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks.


But many people found error when change the permalinks. WP can't find the post with permalinks. The server say "Post not found".

Simple way to fix it?
It 's really simple. You choose Custom Structure, and enter the permalinks like:


/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

(Of course, you can using permalinks without date or month).
And it worked.
