I found the tip to get permalinks working.

In your Apache Web Server configuration httpd.conf file, make sure AllowOverride is updated with the following for your DocumentRoot directory.


# This is needed for perma-links in WordPress
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
AllowOverride All


When a .htaccess file is placed in the root directory for the app, it’ll get detected and executed by the Apache Web Server software. It can be used to alter the configuration of the web server to either enable or disable additional functionality.

Your .htaccess should look something like the snippet below, assuming your app is in the directory called wordpress.

#BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]

# END WordPress


This will allow links to look like permanent URL as opposed to a page reference.

Another 4 fabulous days in Tahoe, and am happy with the progress from the second consecutive week of skiing. Getting really confident, which is only to say that I’ve had a fair share of tumbles down the mountain 🙂

…And yet, disappointed that my ski instructor says it’ll take many years to become an expert skier. Who has that kind of time?

Anyways, left Tahoe earlier to drive through the storm… which ended up being a good call, as chains are required right now. The snow will be great on Monday when I’m back up there.

Every time I arrive back in San Francisco, I feel nostalgic. Why leave this beautiful, wonderful city? My apartment is so soft and comfy compared to bunk beds and snoring people… And thank god for my Sonos… how I’ve missed you!
