Please ensure your .htaccess file looks like this if you are using Apache. 

# 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

Then try to clear your browser cache and visit the website. Or visit your website in incognito mode.

By the way if you are using Apache you need to enable mod rewrite in order to get perms links to work.

A command like the following if you are managing your own server 

sudo a2enmod rewrite

  • hi actually my site is hosted, after hosted only the sub pages are not found –  Dec 09 '16 at 09:13
  • @P.S.F.Romesh I notice you have Yoast SEO plugin installed. Can you de-activate it before you try to change your permalink again? – Someone Special Dec 09 '16 at 09:33
  • if that doesn't work u need to write to ur web host, possibly rewrite mod is not on or something. – Someone Special Dec 09 '16 at 09:41
  • It may help somebody... I was struggling with the same problem, even after implementing the solution suggested. However, I just realized that I needed to set the "allowoverride" directive to "All" in my server apache config file. – prm296 Nov 07 '19 at 18:02

Please make sure your .htaccess file on root is writable mode, means having 777 permission.

Can you please share .htaccess and share url of website
