HELP 👍 New video update: https://youtu.be/BW0IpDvuvdM Don't forget to whitelist your ip address in the stings of your firewall of your virus scanner first!! If you go to permalinks and choose post an .htaccess file should be created automatically. If this does not work you can watch the instructions of this video. .htaccess is a tool that is only used on the web server Apache (and even there, it needs to be enabled in the configuration). If your host is using some other web server, for instance nginx, then the corresponding fixes that enable permalink structure, etc, need to be set up in a different way.
