1 Hello, I have WordPress 5.4.1 installed on my server.
After a successful migration of your WordPress site to another server, the
first thing you would like to do is enter Permalinks settings and remove index.php from permalink in WordPress. Having index.php in permalink often can lead to 404 missing page error and it disrupts User-Friendly URLs. Since you probably imported the database, there’s a good chance that you are going to see ‘index.php’ already create itself into your URL structure. If you want to remove index.php from the permalink you can check the below methods. Why to Remove index.php From Permalink? Index.php is not considered a user-friendly URL and it may lead you to a 404 error. Besides, there is no benefit to keeping index.php in the URL,
except trouble. If you are a blogger and write articles, then you might target long-tail keywords. Keeping index.php in the URL makes it too long.

Step 1: Make Sure ‘mod_rewrite’ is enabled on your server At first, you log in to your hosting site and make sure your ‘mod_rewrite’ is enabled. If this module is active on your server, you will be able to create an info file and check for yourself. In cPanel, Mod_Rewrite is compiled with Apache by default. E.g.
If you want to check whether mod_rewrite is enabled on the server, open your website root directory. Now create a PHP file named mod_rewrite.php Add the following code to this file.
Afterward, create a .htaccess file and rename the original .htaccess file to .htaccess_1 if you have it. Now add the following code to the .htaccess file.
Enter your website. If you see a message such as ‘Mod_rewrite is activated’, then it is enabled on your server. If you find anything else such as “mod_rewrite is disabled’, make sure to delete the .htaccess file that you created earlier and rename the original file to ‘.htaccess’. Step 2: Set the Permalink Structure Now navigate to Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks, then choose the ‘Custom Structure’ option and enter /%postname%. Then click on save changes. Step 3: Edit .htaccess file Now open ‘File Manager’ from your hosting site and open the .htaccess file that is located at the root of your website folder(I am using cPanel).
