I am new to Wordpress but tried all documentation and Stack Overflow posts for possible solutions but none of them have worked so far.
I have verified that mod rewrite is enabled and working as expected. Followed all steps mentioned here. https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/105795/remove-index-php-from-permalinks
Also restarted Apache couple of times but still getting 404 errors when I remove index.php path from Permalink Settings.
Renamed the wordpress directory to blog to access the site at www.xyz.com/blog. Now the requirement is to access any blog posts with www.xyz.com/blog/2018/02/09/my-wp-post without index.php in the URLs.
We don't have any other CMS content other than WP for the blog site.
Permalink settings(Custom Structure): /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
.htaccess file contents:
BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
.htaccess
file and etc. – Samvel Aleqsanyan
