I have problem with my WordPress permalink. I'm running a WAMP server. I tried to change the permalink to postname: "/%postname%/".

Permalink setting.

When I test one of my pages I get an 404 Not Found.

When I click on the post title.

How can I fix this problem?

Looks like your .htaccess doesn't exists or better said the mod_rewrite isn't working.

My guess though, since you are using wamp, is that the .htaccess was created by wordpress. Just check if the file exists otherwise create it.

Please read the appropriate documentation. In short, you should put a file named .htaccess in your root directory and have the following in the file:

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