Pretty Urls in Wordpress using Wamp
There are many ways to set custom urls on wordpress , i have been trying to figure this out when using Wamp server. Here are a few simple steps:
Locate your apache httpd.conf file which would most probably reside under C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf
Edit using text editor and uncomment(remove # sign) the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
In the same file locate Options FollowSymlinks and change the second line from "AllowOverride none" to "AllowOverride all" if not already done
Save the file and restart all services under Wamp
Go to wordpress admin -> Settings -> Permalinks and choose your custom structure, like "postname" http://localhost/wordpress-3.3/wordpress/sample-post/
Save the settings and try a link on the live site, should work perfectly
